A bike used by an intensive care nurse to get to and from work has been stolen.

Claire O'Neill's black and purple Cannondale bike was taken from a bike shed in Tunbridge Wells sometimes yesterday evening.

She secured it in the Goods Station Road shed at 2pm but it was gone by the time she returned at 7pm.

The 31-year-old only purchased the bike a few months ago and relies on it to travel to work.

She has posted an appeal on Twitter asking everyone to keep an eye out.

She added: "It's so sad and really upsetting."
