Adam Docherty turned 13-years-old on October 29 and asked his mum for a mountain bike and e-bike . His mum Caroline, a single mum and full-time carer for her disabled daughter, saved up for months to afford the present.

Both Adam and Caroline were gutted to discover the bikes had been taken from the hut outside their property on Royston Mains Green in Pilton.

Caroline, 46, told Edinburgh Live: "I was putting our Christmas decorations outside in the hut and I noticed the lock had been broken. The door was open and I noticed his bike was away.
