Description

BikerBiker is a volunteer-run group that’s been set up to combat motorcycle theft and motorcycle enabled crime in London. We are slowly expanding to other parts of the UK. Acting members are vetted to prevent vigilante behaviour and anything that may compromise our values and mission– our main approach is as follows: High visibility patrols in areas with multiple reports of stolen motorcycles. Patrols are intended as a deterrent and to show the thieves that we are watching them. Recently, we were out in Epsom with the live feed from this patrol that had approximately 20,000 viewers. Covert work – we’re currently working with the Metropolitan police - providing actionable intelligence on thieves across social media, who we have identified and located – these are being actively investigated, details cannot be divulged. Free motorcycle recoveries – so far we’ve recovered approximately 20 stolen motorcycles. We returned them back to their owners, free of charge - owners aren’t hit with £100’s of fees to recover their bikes. This is possible thanks to the help of a number of recovery services, who donate their time and equipment to help us. We’re working on a number of exciting initiatives for the near future, including “bait bikes” parked in London and tracked with multiple trackers – once stolen, we wait for them to be taken back to chop shops - liaising with the police and effecting arrests.
