There have been a spate of opportunistic thefts in the local area. If you look in FH there are a number of posters put up by the local SNT about scooter thefts and thefts using scooters as well.

I would appeal to people to make really really sure any crime such as this has a direct racial implication before posting on here or any media.

We have already seen this incident spread by social media and by the likes of the Metro as racially motivated. The local police have confirmed it is not.
