I've just driven down Grove Vale and saw two guys dressed in black angle grinding a lock off of a bike that was chained up outside the news agents on Grove Vale, near Elsie Road. Sparks flying.


I didn't really know what to do. I thought maybe phone the police on 101 but didn't have my phone on me.


Also as there is the potential it could have been their bike and they lost the key I didn't know if the police would even respond.


Anyway thought I'd mention it on here. As I say, Hopefully it was their bike and not a theft. If it was a theft and you know who's bike it is please feel free to get in touch.

I've interrupted bike thieves doing exactly this on more than one occasion and the police have appeared in minutes. The guy's you saw are probably the same gang who've been targeting both bicycles and motorbikes for some time in the area. I would urge anyone who sees these guys at it to call 999 immediately.

Yeah I'm gutted I didn't hVe my phone on me. In the shop I saw 2 other guys, same age, dressed the same, talking to the shop keeper, so wondered if they were diverting his attention. Either way, I didn't feel it was safe for me to go in alone. I tried to break up a fight once and got my head kicked like a football. I did see quite a few people driving past and walking, plus I think someone was smoking outside the vale pub. I hoped someone else had a phone... Also I'd just been to a spinning class and could barely walk!!


I will call 101 today. I've got specific times etc so if it was a crime maybe I can help.

Hi,

It seems there are a lot of bike thieves around..

Two guys broke in our block of flats (and others) at the end of November. Same area: Vale End, Beasant Place, Hsyes Grove. They were kicking doors open and looking for bikes in the common areas. It happened at 2pm! My husband called the police but they didn't get there in time to catch then.

The same thing happened last Thursday and I was home this time. I called the police and so did someone else, so the police caught them and I have been told they are now so ending some days in prison before going to court!

Hopefully we can get a break!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
