CCTV footage shows the thief walking into Guy’s Cancer Centre in London on Tuesday while holding a phone to his ear. After briefly exiting the building for a short period, he returns and heads straight to a bike, which is locked inside the entrance.

The bike, a Specialized Diverge gravel bike with Shimano GRX Di2 worth around £5,000, is owned by Charlotte Montague, a sponsorship, marketing and media manager at Hotchillee, the organisers behind the London-Paris cycle tour. Charlotte, who was having an emergency scan on her brain at the time of the robbery, posted images of the bike and culprit on social media, saying the lock “was gone within a moment”.
