He was arrested and bailed

A man carrying a knife was caught on camera cutting a bike chain and riding off in Rugby at the weekend.

Rugby Police praised CCTV operators for their actions.

A spokesman said: “They alerted us after they noticed a man cutting a bike chain and riding off on the bike.

“Shortly afterwards, officers arrested a 50-year-old man from Nuneaton on High Street on suspicion of theft, possessing a knife/bladed article and going equipped.”

The man has been bailed until March pending further enquiries.
