Balaclava-Clad Motorbike Gangs & Motorbike Theft Rife in Edinburgh
by Find It Stop It | Jan 27, 2023 | tracker |
Visordown (a great website for news, views and a general go-to place for the motorcycle community), recently reported that
Balaclava Gangs and Motorbike Theft is Rising in the UK. In the summer months, Edinburgh saw many incidents of balaclava-clad youths riding electric bikes and harrassing members of the public. Mr Johnson (Edinburgh Southern Labour MSP) discussed the issue in Holyrood in November 2022 and highlighted the issues surrounding increased motorcycle theft and motorbike-enabled crime. He called for extra policing resources to crack down on these crimes and to protect the public. Scotland is a beautiful place to tour on a bike but motorbike owners may be put off if there is a chance that their bike may be stolen or damaged.
