minder Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Just to make people aware of bike thefts from the ED train station bike rack. My son's bike was stolen from the bike rack at the station today between 3.30pm-7pm.He asked station staff if they have any CCTVs. They do, but not trained on the bike racks. This seems a bit stupid really, especially as it sounds like it's happening a lot there.

Robert Poste's Child Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thanks for the warning. Do you mean the one inside, on the platform, or outside? I was also wondering what kind of lock they managed to get through?

Earl Aelfheah Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Even if the CCTV was not trained on the bike rack, it should have caught the thieves leaving the station with the bike I would have thought. I would press the police to look at it.

Robert Poste's Child Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Not sure that's quite fair as the crime stats for the last four months are down year on year, so they must be doing something right. There's one in the library a couple of afternoons a week if you want to talk about anything.However, the station is a known hotspot and I agree with rahrahrah that they should be able to find footage of someone leaving with the bike (assuming they didn't get on a train with it).

minder Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Son said it was bike rack on the outside, near the crossing. Lock was a Raleigh cable lock. It was quite an old bike but he'd done it up with a new saddle and tyres a year or so ago, so some toe-rag obviously took a shine to it. British Transport Police phoned today to say they need a few bits of info (what son was wearing, time he left bike) and they will look into it. They were very helpful.
