London cycling: One percent of bike thieves identified, Met data shows

Only 1% of London bike thefts in the last 12 months resulted in a charge or caution, according to Metropolitan Police data.

Hackney, Southwark and Tower Hamlets recorded the most thefts over the last 12 months, although across the capital the total number of bikes reported stolen was down 18% compared with the previous year.By Tom Edwards, BBC London Transport Correspondent

All that expenditure on cycle lanes, ensuring the thieves have a clear route back to their lairs.

And they tell us to get cycling!!!!!

Is there any way that the bbc can somehow relate to racism? Surely there must be! Bbc must try harder! Can you add a 'racism' tab on your website? You know, politics, science, health, racism, blah, blah, blah

Met data shows hey

Brilliant

'More than 18,800 thefts were reported between November 2021 and October 2022.' 'The Met said due to the number of calls, it was not possible to carry out a lengthy investigation in every case.' Bit worrying the country's largest police force can't handle 18,800 crimes...

There was some good news in there 'He said up to a quarter of bike theft victims never cycle again.'

Found one.
