A teenager has been arrested in connection with the knifepoint robbery of two tourist cyclist’s electric bikes at Cramond Foreshore earlier this week.

The women, aged 47 and 62, were robbed by two males at about 15:30 on Monday afternoon.

The 16-year-old boy was due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court earlier today.

Enquiries are still ongoing to trace a second male believed to be involved in the incident.

The bikes were red Specialized Varda model E-Bikes with women’s frames. One was small and the other was medium. One has a black wicker basket on the back.
