Video shows the moment a school boy has his bike stolen by two thugs

Police are hunting two thugs filmed on a mobile phone robbing a schoolboy of his new £450 mountain bike as he rode through a park in broad daylight.

The yobs raced up to 14-year-old George Warner as he pedalled home from school and wrestled his VooDoo Hoodoo bicycle off him before pushing him to the ground.

A friend of George managed to film the robbery on her mobile phone and posted the footage on Facebook in a bid to catch the thieves.

Just days after the appeal was posted on social media, well wishers donated money to buy a replacement bike for George.
