Metropolitan Police.jpgPolice officer's bike stolen as he treats injured colleague in North London
Just days after we reported how a doctor’s bike had been stolen as she attended to an injured motorcyclist on Holloway Road comes news that a policeman had his bike stolen in similar circumstances a few miles away in Stamford Hill.
The theft happened as a police officer from the Lordship Safer Neighbourhoods Team attended to a Police Community Support Officer who had been injured after being struck by a car last Thursday at 5pm in Cazenove Road, reports the Hackney Gazzette.
Sergeant Sue Wright, from the Clissold Safer Neighbourhoods team, told the newspaper: “I am anxious for this bike to be returned to us so that we can continue to patrol the ward on two wheels.”
The bike in question is a black and silver Specialized Crosstail, with no decals denoting it as a police bike. It was donated to the police just a fortnight ago by Spence Bakery, Church Street, Stoke Newington, adds the newspaper.
Christopher Irwin, aged 22 and of no fixed abode, has been charged with attempted grievous bodily harm with regard to the injuries sustained by the PCSO.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Why so much giref towards the Police?? It's the thiefing scum you should be having a pop at. If you read the last paragraph you'll see that the Police charged someone. London is s***hole and a full of thiefs, fraudster and crooks. If you don't like it move somewhere else!!
I wonder if London bike cops carry 2 sets of 'cuffs so that on dropping a bike they arrest it.
Hope matters arising are resolved by arrests and recoveries
Safer Neighbourhoods? Got their work cutout for them their then.
And also cycling accidents and dangerous driving more seriously?
Prehaps this might make the ploice in that area take cycle theft more seriously now.
Rather flippant comments considering someone was hit by a car. I hope the PCSO is ok.
Wasn't mean't as flippant, obviously hope the PCSO makes a full recovery, it just seemed ironic that bike theft in London is rarely taken seriously and it is well known that stolen gear turns up at markets like Brick Lane and unless you go mob handed to fight for your bike little interest is taken.
Hope they get the people responsible for both incidents.
I know what you mean. Perhaps plod will pay more attention to bike theft and dangerous drivers. Let's hope so.
I hope it was post coded!
Perhaps they will take notice of the stolen bikes being sold at Brick Lane Market now??
