bike recovered
Got a call from Wimbledon police station last night saying they had recovered a bike fitting the description without the number plate. I went down there and there she was sitting along side about 20 different motorbikes and about 300 push bikes!!!! Apart from the smashed steering lock all looks ok. Bike being recovered by the wheelpower guys today to check for any other damage. I must say the police have been excellent.
The story I was told is that a van was pulled over and five bikes were found in it. It seems a polish gang have been stealing hundreds of bikes all over London over the past few months and shipping them back to Poland!!!!!.
The gyt at the dealers told me that an RSV4 factory was taken from the front of a shop in London in broad daylight just a few days ago.
Loads of the bikes that had been recovered at the nick had large heavy chains still on them and they had just been lifted. The police also told me that even if you chain it to something its becoming really common for the scum to angle grind the chains off and chuck them in a van.
Trackers? apparantly these bikes can be shipped out of the country in containers within a few hours?
