Indeed, scooter used to push nicked vehicle is standard procedure...

(doesn't look like the same scooters-riders-participants as in RJ incident or other in this thread)

London, but didnt say where in London exactly.

Looks like they had just nicked this bike and were making a getaway. I think that the siren you can hear might be the bike alarm? I presume that the moped is stolen as well. This is probably someone's pride and joy :-(
Reporting to the police - although not sure how much good that will do.

It's CS3 so around Limehouse/Poplar area

This is actually the part between tower hill and shadwell, yes it's def cs3 cycle superhighway. I use the both DLR and also cs3 when cycling regularly, I live near canary wharf

Looks like they started out on bycycles back in May and now use peds to get round instead. I've seen them around Sutton, Rose Hill area before though 100%.

I think you need to get Mr FezSpider on board for this.

It can't be as simple surely, as the police leaving a bait bike, allowing it to be knicked and following it to wherever it goes, be it a lock-up, van etc, until the reaches the people driving this? Those Scrotes aren't the top of the tree, they're getting a stty wage as gatherers. Doesn't seem very hard. Why do they not bother?

M8, before the ride starting in Wimbledon Common memorial 5'ish, I'd like to delete my posts, would be good if you edit out my quotes in yours? TY
FB is more sensible?

No worries

Good job by police. He got three years, but didn't grass his mate from the sounds of it

A few things popped up on social media recently that are of interest. Namely bikes, helmet types, locations etc posted by the scrotes themselves. Have a rummage on IG.

Over 50 bikes, £100,000 been shipped off to Trinidad and Tobago. Two convictions, one got 2 years the other 6. 'Light work', as the yoof say these days.

I'm a member of that page and half the st on there is stolen.

Funnily enough my mate has just had his courtesy bike stolen from outside his house a couple of days ago, what's going on!?

How is this able to go on so brazenly? It seems the ECU issue slows them right down if they don't have the expertise to get around it, the bike is worth a lot less.

I guess it's an easy £700 for those who stole it, and then once it's broken up there's an easy couple of grand there even if you don't/can't sell the engine?

Perhaps we should post up the little feckers name and where he works too..........

I don't imagine that's real otherwise Brainbox there would be arrested pretty quickly.

I must soft as anything because I wouldn't want any innocent people to be injured in pursuit of these bds. If that was my wife or kid being hurt, I wouldn't be understanding. Unless you have a complete lack imagination or are so fking insular and don't care for your loved ones how could it be justified? So why would I be ok with anyone else getting hurt?

However... I don't understand why the police can't set up a sting operations or taskforce to get these guys?

Bait bike in the correct location when the scum come then get them rush them before they get on their scoots. Or wait for them at or near traffic lights and jump them? Pushing a scooter over which has no number plate with these scum on at 5 mph or less and that's no issue.

Also the bikes could have trackers and they can follow these scum to their home locations.

What about a group of undercover police scoots which can be deployed to patrol and trained to arrest these fkers when they are at traffic lights or at a standstill?



Its just messed up that the police seem to be doing less than nothing!

This needs to be stamped out.

You wouldn't believe the amount of scrotes that incriminate themselves on social media!
