CCTV captured footage of an “unbelievable” brazen bicycle thief clambering over a fence before hoisting the bike out of a garden.
Kavillen Oliveira shared images of the thief who targeted her home in Queen's Road, Watford, at around 9am on Friday (June 2).
Hertfordshire Constabulary have confirmed they are carrying out enquiries after the "theft of a pedal cycle" was reported.
The victim said: “I still don't believe how brazen this person is.
“I work hard to buy my own things and as a result this person jumped my fence and stole a bicycle which I bought two months ago, for work.
“I can't feel safe in my own house anymore. It's unbelievable how dangerous Watford has turned in the last three years.”

She added that she had already had a new bike stolen in the same road, in August last year.
She has also previously had items stolen from the front of her house, “but from my yard this is totally unbelievable”, she added.
In the footage the man can be seen walking to the fence, peering over and climbing it, before grabbing the bike and awkwardly getting himself and his ill-gotten gains out over the fence.
He takes about three minutes from first looking in to get out of the garden.
