A Bristol cyclist who had her bike stolen beat the thieves at their own game when she set up a sting to take it back from the man selling it on Facebook.

Jenni Morton-Humphreys, 30, planned a sting operation with a stranger and had her expensive German racing bike back within the space of 24 hours from when it was stolen last weekend.

After setting up a meeting with the man to see the bike as a prospective buyer, she told him she was going to take it for a 'test drive' and sped off instead.
