So these youths who don't have any money and have been using knives to mug people and be involved in drug gangs etc can now afford bikes and the £600 or so it generally costs to pass your test nowadays? Sounds legit.
I wouldn't want to piss on the poor little souls fireworks but if I was the Police I'd been checking every single bike there to see if it was stolen. Bike crime is an epidemic proportions at the moment. Not just stealing them but also using them for crime.
I don't think anyone would disagree trying to get these lads out of knife related crime is a good idea but actually it's just creating a different problem.
