Ja - Yesterday's Manchester paper - Brian Lashley reports that Bike cops are patrolling Manchester's car park to stop car theft. It seems there has been 30% drop in stolen car crime since they started this.

Since the introduction of the patrols - particulalry on match days has been a great success and we can tackle more incidents as well. We can pedal up to someone loitering on car park without being heard! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

We are finding we are able to catch more criminals as more and more criminals are turning to bicycles to make their get away from the scene of a crime :shock: :? On the bikes we can access the same areas as they do!"


Quick! Follow that bike und step on them pedals!

The article says that the BiBs have to do a special course before being allowed to patrol on these bikes. (Lieber IG told us he had to ride up und down steepest :yikes: steps...)

Bike cops have to wear a visible und breathable waterproof uniform und a police cycle helmet. (Und i want to know where they buy them from as they appear to be stronger than ours!)
