The number of thefts carried out on bicycles has tripled in the past two years, BBC London has learned.
Metropolitan Police figures show there were 3,754 reported snatchings in the capital last year, up from 1,214 thefts in 2010.
Strange statistic and I wonder if the increasing popularity of cycling is helping drive this increase. I would equally believe that people undertaking crimes such as this would have no issue using stolen bikes, so I hope the police start actively taking more interest in this.
