Security video catches “George” in the act of stealing a Trek 5500 OCLV bicycle from a bike parking area in San Francisco.
The driver of a stolen SUV attempted to run down a pair of officers patrolling on their bikes, say Toronto police. The officers had to jump out of the way of the speeding vehicle. Police used a dragnet involving more bikes and police cruisers to find the stolen vehicle and the driver, catching him after a brief foot chase.
Security camera footage captures man casually breaking a lock with a bolt cutter to steal a bike. Kristen and an unidentified friend — who apparently see the theft through the office window — take quick action, run outside and block the would be thief’s escape.
Unlike some previous thwarted bike theft attempts captured on video, there doesn’t seem to be any retributive citizen justice in this example.
