Officers in Brighton have arrested two teenage boys from Sidcup and Dartford on suspicion of six bicycle thefts at Brighton Marina and at Brighton Palace Pier in late March.
Police patrolling in Brighton last Thursday (March 31) were alerted to reports of the two suspects, who matched the description of those involved in another theft of a bike from the marina.
The suspects were tracked travelling north through Old Steine, New Road, Jubilee Street and then near the Prince Regent Leisure Centre.
Officers on foot then arrested them in North Place.
A 16-year-old boy from Sidcup, and an 18-year-old man from the Dartford area were both arrested on suspicion of six counts of theft of a pedal cycle, using threatening or abusive behaviour likely to provoke fear of immediate unlawful violence, and common assault.
They have been released on conditional police bail not to enter Sussex, meanwhile the investigation continues.
