An attempt is being made to replace a broken-hearted 10-year-old boy's stolen motorbike.
After the Winfield's two motorbikes and a mountain bike were stolen from their home on January 7, father Dan, 36, recalled the reaction of his 10-year-old son Haydon.
He said: "At least no one was hurt and we're all safe, my bike is replaceable."

But that is exactly what a friend of the Winfield's, Stuart Foote, 32, is trying to do.
Stuart, who has known Dan since they were both teenagers, has set up a GoFundMe page and is asking for help from members of the public to get the young Swindon boy a new bike.
He explained: "We all feel so strongly about helping Dan because he is always the person you call when you need help and he’s there at the drop of a hat but will never take anything in return.
"Now it’s our chance to repay him for being such a good bloke."
On the fundraising page, Stuart wrote: "How is it fair that a 10-year-old can have his heart broken because some scum bag thinks it’s fine to steal something that a hard-working father has bust his ass off to pay for.
"I would love for people to help me raise the money to help replace Haydon’s Bike. Dan has lost his bike too but our priority is to make his son happy again."
