Prolific E-Bike Phone Snatcher Arrested After High-Speed Chase Across London
A notorious phone snatcher riding an e-bike was arrested yesterday following a dramatic police pursuit spanning three London boroughs and both sides of the River Thames.

"The case highlights the increasing reliance on drones and helicopters to assist in urban policing operations, especially when suspects use high-speed bikes to flee through pedestrian-heavy areas and narrow streets."

I wonder if his battery went flat. They don't last long if you go flat out.

The perp's POV GoPro footage would have been brilliant viewing.

He really ought to have been more prepared - could have lost them with a folding bike on the underground, ninja smoke bombs and supernatural powers of invisibility, a train or two, furtive subway and park lurkings under a camouflage tarp, some taxi rides, a series of unmarked vans and a couple of buses etc. Allowed himself to be taken alive too. Amateurs.

Ooerr, Engwe is in the sights again. (Ireland)
Expect this is why their bikes are locked down now?
Now seems the two collided in the carriageway while crossing the road?
