Mugged at knife point by thieves on mopeds. Handed over his watch. Was with his young son at the time.

It wasn't plain sailing for the muggers. When they told him to 'stand and deliver' he waffled on for 5 minutes about drawers.

Won't the Chit Chat Detective Agency have a conflict of interest over this one?

the gruniad has a most strange article on it - almost making out the mopedians to be victims - certainly trying to play it down as a media inspired moral panic etc etc

They said on news there was another similar incident same day and a woman is in critical condition?
Did she put up a fight and get a hammer to the head or something? :(

"the gruniad has a most strange article on it - almost making out the mopedians to be victims"
Well it's the Guardian isn't it. Disgusting rag.
The sort of paper that when immigrant sex pests attack women blame us for not explaining our culture and not being nice enough to them.

But if a tower block burns down due to people passing off panels as far more fireproof than they are and workers them installing them badly ALL responsibility is on posh Tories. Somehow.

.. seems like they are exploiting the fact that the likelihood is they are not going to get chased. seems anyone is fair game,

  pedestrians, shops, car drivers, ..... no feckers safe.
Report Ramruma June 8, 2018 11:46 PM BST
Not getting chased is probably a red herring. Mugging's up, burglary's up.

It's probably got more to do with stuff being easier to fence. Most high streets now have more than one pawn shop or a modern equivalent, and then there is ebay and the like.

either they are not getting chased or they are , which is it ?

The story was that coppers were reluctant to chase mopederists in case they ended up in the dock when the thieving scum fell off.

But true or not, it is a red herring because, first, other types of theft that do not involve scooters are up as well, like burglary, and second, there's rarely a police car around to chase the scooterised robbers anyway (probably because even the thickest villain knows to look out for police cars before they commit the crime).

My guess is that easier fencing is the common factor in all these property crimes whether it's rifling a pensioner's bedroom for trinkets, snatching a phone from a commuter's hand or a smash-and-grab in a Bond Street jeweller.

Capitalism, profit more important than safety, Tory run capitalist government.

Ramruna it depends , has there been a startling increase in moshed crime out of all proportion to other forms of crime
There are 60 mophed crimes reported in London alone every day
That’s a 50% increase in the last 12 months
Have other forms of crime increased by 50% in the last 12 months
And it should not be very difficult for the police , even a police motorcyclist to follow a mophed now should it so it is not a question of resources
It it was they could follow some at least
If they are not that might be why there has been such an increase or why would that be a red herring again ?
Report lfc1971 June 9, 2018 3:37 PM BST
Police motorcyclists can cover quite a lot of ground , and perhaps we could take 100 of them and station then in London
Maybe they are doing that already , but there is nothing point if they are not allowed to pursue the mopheds now is there ?

People operating above the Law and now people operating beneath it. We are mostly in the middle.

I don't see why some on here defend the people and Corporates who don't want to pay their fair share. We have more in common on these boards than the people who rob us from above the Law and beneath it.

Yep the young 14 year old chap has been released ..

The court heard that he was likely to be placed back with his family until trial but under strict supervision by the local youth offending team.
He was ordered to abide by a curfew between 07:00 and 19:00; attend meetings with the youth offending team four times a week; and was barred from riding on any two-wheeled vehicles.

That should sort him out
