According to the police, two men who were on e-bikes and had been snatching phones from pedestrians were swiftly apprehended in a matter of two hours. The CCTV footage captured the moment when one of the suspects, wearing a bandana, rode onto a sidewalk in central London and appeared to grab a gadget from a man's hands as he passed by. The videos also showed the alleged thieves dangerously weaving through traffic in an attempt to evade capture, as seen from a police helicopter and an officer's bodycam.
After an intense search, the two young men, believed to be in their early 20s, were finally caught by armed officers at a particular location. The police revealed that the pair had been on a theft spree for about an hour in the areas of Kensingon, Chelsea, and Westminster. The Metropolitan Police disclosed that multiple phones had been stolen during this time frame.
The suspects, who have been identified as Parkinson and Wilson, are now facing a combined sentence of more than five years in prison. The police have also released footage from a previous incident where an e-bike rider snatched a phone from a woman's hand while she was waiting at a bus stop. In this case, the suspect showed no concern for the safety of pedestrians as he made his escape. However, he was later tracked down and apprehended at a youth center in Islington.
