A boy who had his birthday present bike stolen has seen it returned.

Ten-year-old Taylor Galloway had his bike stolen by a gang of thugs in a North Watford park just days before his 11th birthday.

However after an intensive campaign on social media and good work by police, the bike was recovered on Sunday.

Mum Sarah Wallace said: “I want to thank all of you for your help, without it I wouldn’t have got to where we are now.”

Hertfordshire Constabulary said investigations into the theft were ongoing, with anyone with information encouraged to contact police on the non-emergency 101 number.
