The second incident was also a burglary, and saw a bicycle stolen from a shed at a property in Featherbed Lane. It is believed to have happened around the same time.

A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesperson said: "There was a burglary and theft of high-value electric bicycles from a shop in Rolle Street, Exmouth town centre in the late evening to early morning of 10 and 11 May.

"There was also a burglary and consequent theft of a bicycle from a shed at a property in Featherbed Lane in Exmouth possibly around the same time.

"Residents are advised to keep cycles well secured with good-quality locks."
