So they got six-month suspended sentences. You can see why the police don't bother investigating bicycle theft.
If they sold each bike on average for £150 then they would have made close to £40,000 in a 6 month period. plus the DOL and housing benifits. Even if they do get sent to jail it would only be for about 3 months (depending on good behaviour), which would be free living before they probably come straight back out and do it again.
