Brazen thief attempts to steal bike outside Asda
Two club riders were the victims of a bikejacking in London on Saturday morning, after moped-riding thieves told them to “get off your f***ing bikes” while stopped at lights on a busy roadcurrently affecting cyclists across the UK appears to show no signs of relenting, as a brazen thief was caught on camera using an angle grinder in an attempt to steal a locked bike outside an Asda in broad daylight on Thursday, as a bystander withdrew cash from an ATM yards away.
During the 20-second clip, the would-be thief can be seen noisily hacking away at the lock, with sparks flying, as a member of the public withdraws cash from an ATM right next to the blatant attempted theft, briefly glancing around to survey the scene before returning to his task. > “Our advice is not to use the Hub”: Bike theft “hotspot” at train station forces cycling campaign to warn people against using £400,000 cycle racks
According to the cyclists, who are members of the Regent’s Park Rouleurs club, the muggers pulled up alongside them at a red light and “screamed in our faces ‘Right, get off your f***ing bikes now you c***s’ over and over, and getting increasingly aggressive”.The victim continued: “We gave them over as we knew they could be armed and could do some damage. They looked like they could have been bouncers – well built, Cockney accents, and around 50-years-old.
The cyclist was reportedly followed for around four miles by the SUV driver, before being cornered in a driveway, with only the intervention of the house’s owner and a passing motorist forcing the thieves to leave without the bike.Peter Roper sent road.cc the video of the attempted bikejacking which happened on the A25 in Brasted, while he was riding his Trek e-bike.
