From the British Transport Police press release:

British Transport Police (BTP^▸ (British Transport Police)) officers are re-appealing for information after a cycle was stolen from Worcester Foregate Street railway station.

Investigators have today released CCTV images of a man and a woman they want to talk to in connection with the incident, which took place on Wednesday, 11 January 2012.

Officers have reviewed CCTV footage and have now released images of a couple, seen at the station at the time, who they want to identify and talk to in connection with the incident.

PC Carol Dade, of BTP, said: ^The victim, a teenage boy, left his mountain bike which is worth around ^2,000 secured at the station^s cycle racks using locks at around 4pm. When he returned to collect his bike at around 7.45pm, it was discovered missing.

We have managed to retrieve CCTV images that show a man and a woman with a pushchair, who were at the station at the time of the theft, and who we are keen to speak to.

^If you know who the people in these photographs are, or have any information that could help our investigation, we^d like to hear from you.^

Anyone with information should call BTP on Freefone 0800 40 50 40 quoting incident reference 555 of 11/01/2012.

Now, far be it from me to criticise the quality of any CCTV images the police have 'managed to retrieve' in this case, but ... well, really! 

I nevertheless wish every success to BTP in their investigation - just for the record.

While I am sure BTP^▸ (British Transport Police) have a lot to do and bicycle theft may not be the highest priority, the fact it takes nearly three months to publish said photos cannot help the cause either....
