stopped a bike theft, of a kind, on tuesday evening, 7pm.
three kids of 16yrs old with a battery-powered angle grinder going, sparks flying, at a cheapish white road bike locked to the fence that separates victoria park from the canal and towpath. managed to stall them for a while whilst one toerag kept saying "i'll murk you" despite a 6ft spiked fence between us.
eventually they seemed concerned I was speaking with a canal boat owner and slid off into the shadows. if that's your bike please don't lock it there! sorry I couldn't get a picture or a closer look at the bike/perps.
