It’s no fun stealing mopeds anymore!

Due to a rise in moped theft by the so called ‘moped gangs’, the police have adopted tough tactics such as knocking them off their bikes, in some cases without a helmet, to crackdown on this rising crime.

  • An ex moped gang member told Underworld:

  Before they started to knock us off the bikes, I would get a few bikes on most nights, but they are moving like savages now days. It’s not worth it anymore because I am now risking my life just to make a couple of hundred quid where as before it was easy to get away and also very fun!

  • Ever since these tough tactics have been put into play, the metropolitan police say there has been a 36% reduction in thefts that involved mopeds or scooters and a 32% reduction in thefts of mopeds.
  • Other tactics include using a special marking spray to fire at suspects and remote controlled spikes to burst the tires of the bikes.
