It is alleged that on leaving the suspects then broke the steering lock on a KTM Duke Bike and led it away side by side with another motor-bike, which they used to push it.

The suspects headed off in the direction of the Kent History and Library Centre and the Gallagher Stadium, but may have taken side roads along the way.

One man is described as a slim, black teenager with dreadlocks, who wore a bandana halfway over his face.

The other is a medium-built, short-haired, white and in his early 20s. He was wearing a blue, Canada Goose parker coat at the time.

The theft occurred on Tuesday, December 20, between 4pm and 4.30pm
