'POINTLESS' | Bike Thieves Get "Free Run" As Police Won't Investigate After Two Hour

The discussion between Mike Graham and Tom Fyans, CEO of the London Cycling Campaign, centres on two major issues affecting cyclists and the wider public in the UK, bike theft and cyclist-pedestrian collisions. The conversation is sparked by a news story revealing that police reportedly will not investigate bike thefts from railway stations if the theft occurred more than two hours earlier. Mike Graham expresses shock and suggests that this policy reflects a broader lack of police follow-up on petty crimes in general, citing his own recent experience of his car vandalism. Tom Fyans confirms that such a policy sends the wrong message to criminals, giving bike thieves a “free run,” particularly at train stations, which are already hotspots for car and bike theft. He highlights the shocking statistic that 98% of stolen bikes in London are never recovered and notes that a quarter of victims stop cycling altogether after a theft. Both agree that the issue is made worse by a thriving black market where stolen bikes are quickly resold, stressing the need for greater caution when buying second-hand bikes. #sadiqkhan #bikecrime #cyclists Have you got a story?
