If anyone out and about sees anyone or a group looking out of place on high end bikes and e-bikes take a picture if you can. There's a little crew of them they went past my shop the other day with a metallic dark purple trek e-mtb, a matt black Cube E-mtb both 5k+ spec a black and yellow medium travel carbon scott trail bike a white Cannondale scalpel with lefty fork. 3 guys with 4 bikes between them. They are robbing bikes from busy areas of town on broad daylight and when the thefts are reported individually the police have no interest but hopefully if they can be I.D'd if known to the police they might pull their finger out if they could potentially catch them with 20 grands worth of bikes at an address. By the time I'd grabbed my phone from my section they were half way up Trafalgar street so couldn't I'd the theives or bikes. If your riding anything decent around town it might be worth chucking an extra lock on it.
