At 1.20pm today I saw a couple of lads checking out bike stands around Foley St for bikes to steal.
They were dressed in commuter type cycling gear with helmets and rucksacks and one even had a green snap-on trouser clip but both had full face balaclavas on and were riding drop bar road bikes I think.
They rode slowly past the bike stands on corner of Candover St spoke to each other then did a u turn back to the bikes.
I was riding behind them initially on a Boris bike so they were riding towards me and I said to them "I know what you're up to boys, too obvious" at which point one of them swore at me and they both turned into Candover St heading towards Mortimer St.
They had definitely gone to alot of effort to look like "cyclists" rather than dodgy kids on a mountain bike you usually see but the balaclavas kind of gave the game away.
Have reported to the local SNT
