The Cambridge-based thief was caught on CCTV stealing the bike in November 2023.

John Bruce Miller, 39, of Pakenham Close, Cambridge, pinched the pedal cycle from the Cambridge Station Cycle Park.

By stealing the bike, Miller also breached his current Criminal Behaviour Order. 

The thief breached it by being in possession of a pedal cycle or any cycle part without a verifiable receipt, and by being in possession of any item that can be used to steal a pedal cycle in a public place.

At Peterborough Crown Court on Thursday (18 January), Miller was sentenced to seven months in prison after pleading guilty to theft of a pedal cycle and two counts of breaching a CBO.

Sergeant Dan Scott said: “Miller is a prolific bike thief in Cambridge with numerous convictions against his name for cycle theft.

“We continue to work hard to address cycle crime in Cambridge. This includes reviewing and identifying hotspots, catching offenders, recovering stolen bikes with proactive patrols and education.

“All reports of bike theft are taken seriously and we would encourage people to report offences so we can build up a picture and deploy resources accordingly.”
