Two chavs on electric bikes belting up and down Anlaby rd after the match ignoring lights crossings Then doing it the wrong way inc the roundabout at Aldi ! Sorry but they need an accident enough to put them off but not injure anyone else .
They always end up injuring someone else though dont they
Yes and if they do get hurt or worse they are always described as “ loveable rouges “
Saw the pair of ****s, actually had similar thoughts.
Haha saw them too. Figured Darwinism will soon take its course.
The British Transport Police (BTP) says it will not investigate bike thefts outside stations where the bicycle has been left for more than two hours.
It means most bike thefts will not be investigated and CCTV footage will not be looked at outside a two-hour timeframe.
Commuters leave thousands of cycles on racks outside stations every day, including in specially built bike parks with CCTV. Critics say the BTP policy means those facilities are not secure and theft has effectively been decriminalised.
The BTP said: "The more time our officers spend reviewing CCTV... the less time they have available for patrolling railway stations and trains, investigating crimes which cause the most harm."
Simon Feldman has had one bike taken already from outside Watford Junction station and an attempt was made recently to steal another.
He informed the BTP, which told him officers would not investigate the theft - which happened while he was on shift in London - as he had left the bike at the station for 10 hours.
"The BTP report came back after I reported it and it said they wouldn't investigate it. Even though it's right under a camera. And I found out that if you have left your bike for more than two hours, they won't investigate it," he said.
"I was pretty shocked because what it's doing effectively is decriminalising bike theft and I realised how many people are being affected by this."
What are we paying for and why an arbitrary two hour limit ,go ahead thieves take the poor hard working persons bike from the train station
With total impunity ,madness total madness.

scandalous decision….its just given a green light for all bike thieves
How do they knows its been there more than 2 hours if theyre not checking CCCTV...
It's actually even worse.
If anything stolen from off a train or station is worth less than two hundred quid, it's not a crime.
If you can't give an exact time or location for a theft, it's not a crime.

I bet they wouldn’t let you use your own darts! Only their specially weighted ones.
A speedboat, or a full set of kitchen appliances, or an Austin Metro car.
Nah, Austin Metro's were never worth a tenner.
