Scooter robberies, police fight back (1) (UK) - BBC News - 23rd November 2018

*Warning: Disturbing scenes for some people.
Theft from scooter (moped) criminals, targeting mobile (cell) phones and the like from members of the public in UK streets, had reached epidemic proportions in some areas and criminals would use tricks like removing helmets to stop the police chasing them for fear of injury - to the criminal!
This did not sit well with the public but the police have new tools and tactics that have seen a 44% drop in some crimes and they are not now taking prisoners and running and removing your helmets will not save you, as police now have the go-ahead to ram you which they are using more of. Criminals - beware!
(Keep your comments clean and civil as always - thanks).
