A SCHOOLBOY has been left heartbroken after a cruel thief snatched his bike.

Siddiq Umarji, aged 11, says he was attacked in Pendlebury Street, Halliwell, last week.

His family is appealing for anyone who may have been offered an Emmelle Reactor bike "for sale" to contact police.

Siddiq Umarji was pushed to the ground as he was making his way home from a local shop.

His sisterMahsuza said: "He had been saving up to buy his bike for a long time. He was very upset."
