Ram raid at Balfe's Bikes 4.7.17 6:12am

[Balfe's Bikes]

Hi folks at 6:12 this morning 4th July we were ram raided by four lads on two mopeds.

They stole four Brompton bikes from us.

If anyone was around the East Dulwich road area and saw anything we'd really appreciate any info you might have.

They headed off towards Goose Green from our shop.

Thanks all, Rich

Hi Rich,

Two bikes were also stolen from Actress a cpl of weeks ago by individuals wearing motor cycle helmets.. possibly unrelated.. however, a bit of a coincidence - these individuals extremely brazen as bikes were locked & they just used bolt cutters to cut the lock in full view of the punters.. PM me as we have some CCTV footage.

They just jumped on the bikes & fled in Goose Green direction - over in seconds!

trust the Police are interested?

A couple of months ago two mopeds were speeding up from goose green roundabout towards Peckham rye and passenger was carrying a bike

Sounds like the same assholes I dealt with last night. They told my neighbour to "fuck off back to bed".

If they are on mopeds they can do what they like. It's the law.

Absolutely disgusting. This type of crime will never stop until the government review their stance on policing, i.e. At the moment the police are not allowed to chase any cycle rider not wearing a helmet.

Hi Rich,

So sorry to hear that Balfe's has been targetted by these low lifes. Hope they get caught soon.

Did you get any pics? There are some pics loaded on the initial thread by Balfes.. would be good info for the Police if you recognise the helmets or bikes maybe?

According to a post above, the thieves at The Actress were wearing helmets.

Police just weren't around then - and looked like they were with helmets.

Reports of other issues around ED/Peckham (my block).

How small were the bolt cutters?
