In the Dutch city of Utrecht a police bicycle was stolen. The police were responding to a call of a man being unwell. On arriving at the scene one of the policemen forgot to lock his bike :oops: and a passing teenager out for a laugh with his mates duly stole it :shock: .The police followed several lines of enquiry but the golden tip came from a video on youtube.The three idiots who stole the bike put a video on youtube and boasted about how they nicked the bike from under the noses of the police. They also referred to each other by using there actual first names :D . Anyway, yesterday the police finally arrested the 3.

    We had a similar incident in Wythenshawe when two PCSOs had their bikes nicked from outside a shop near the police station (they were locked too).
    They were rather distinctive and the two people caught on CCTV stealing the bikes were very well known. Needless to say the people were arrested and the bikes recovered.
