Superb news! Bravo to all of you for the restraint, and here's hoping the little scrote gets some proper justice.
Ee's gowin dahn!
Glad you caught the b*gger, good work team!
I have to congratulate you all on showing restraint, I'm not sure I'd have done the same especially if it were my bike and I'd got 19 mates with me all baying for the scrote's blood.
Hopefully he's going away somewhere away from people's stuff.
dont hold your breath on any good news from the courts.
Please elaborate on the way the bike was taken. If the rider was pushed off it that would constitute an assault. If violence is used to commit theft it is therefore a robbery.
Much more serious than theft and will go to the big house.
True Scotchegg, and if violence was used to get the bike then some 'gentle' restraint would have been acceptable.
Good work fella, i presume at the BV cafe. I bet he was quite intimidated being surrounded by 20 storm troopers on Five's 😉

Imagine the sound of being chased by 20 filing cabinets!
haha actually only two fives 😉
That guy and his mate were sat on the benches looking at the carpark 3 weekends ago. They spent the best part of 2 hours walking up and down and on the phone to someone. Mail order bikes I think
I like his shoes
hope he gets what he deserves in court (ironic laugh)
i doubt i would have been able to stop myself snapping his thumbs.
the police and courts have no interest in this kind of stuff
so, no-one had any cable ties to strap him to a tree and leave the ****er for the crows?
sadly, i feel this scrotes experience will not put put off other scrotes from trying the same.
Should have had this fella along, he likes a bit of XC..

Nice one people.
I should ignore the "post his picture/don't post his picture" bollocks. He is relying on the public not knowing who he is to go about his daily thieving. It'll do him more damage to post his picture everywhere than our pathetic excuse for a justice system will ever do to inconvenience him in his thieving.
Some police maybe Jonah tonto. One of my CID colleagues has made two round trips to England, each several hundred miles, to get statements from people who were sold nicked bikes, in a (successful) effort to nail a guy who has stolen a number of high value bikes from round here. I would say that amounts to slight interest, at the very least.

the grate ape, that is music to my ears, i dont dislike the police but i live in swansea which is terrible for car/bike theft and the police here just dont care and as im sure your aware the courts are pretty shambolic when it comes to dealing with 'petty' thieves
last time my car got nicked for example they caught the guy driving it and he got **** all, meanwhile i had to pay £200 to get my car back from the recovery company.
ill deal with these pricks my own way thanks.
I don't doubt that in many places f all is done. I'd guess that's sometimes due to lack of interest, sometimes due to lack of resources, sometimes a combination - either way far from ideal. But some cops still enjoy nicking shites like these!
Courts however - I share your despair.
the police without the courts are a bit pointless really though aren't they
Well, the police deal with a lot more than just crime, but I know what you mean.
I have no idea how you boys displayed any restraint
He could so easily have fallen off heavily on his face at 20 mph and with 20 witnesses, who would have argued....
well done all , shame he didnt , trip up.
Good work, just hope he gets hit with a sensible punishment that does actually act as a deterrent!
Does worry me, I tend to go biking over the Chase on my own. I normally lock my bike up to a fence whilst I nip into the loos before a ride, but I wonder how many people would notice/do anything if someone cut through the lock. Glad he was stupid enough to target somebody in a group!
Nice job on catching the little scum bag, probably good that you didnt get hold of him as alot of them sort carry needles etc
I worked in a health club once where we cought a simular type, who was walking into the club bold as brass and breaking into peoples lockers. We did choose to give him a fairly light going over while waiting for the law to show up.As rewarding as it was in the moment, when they arrived and told us that he was a know user and would have most likely being carrying, we did think that next time we wouldnt be so hasty (and not get so close, use sticks or something)
Sadly he didnt go down for it as he was better use "long term" in helpping catch a "bigger fish" etc etc
Nice work.
TBH a bit of a kicking is part of his life style choice, he has got plenty more to come. Another off someone with a job might have give him an excuse to work the system for a payout. 20 big strong MTBers against this poor uneductated, son of a single parent, Ma-Lord.
great stuff, id be printing his picture up and sticking it up areound cannock chase
I love the concept that his picture on here could lead to his trial being abandoned as everyone would know he was a thief. 🙄
What, the photo of the guilty guy with the guilty expression on his downturned guilty face, standing with the resigned posture of unassuageable guilt?
Good work OP et al.
Good work OP. Think I'd have given him an option,I either call the police or I kick the living c**p out of him!
Nice work, well done. It will be interesting to see what comes of the court appearance.
Public service award coming your way. Not exactly a model but he could be the face of a poster campaign.
Amazed no one saw fit to restrain him though.
The one that looks a bit like Rob Warner?
It's always the ratty looking, malnourished ones, isn't it?
Have heard rumours on another forum, that someone recognised him from Cannock, and apparently he is part of a gang that steal bikes to order.. Hopefully this will have foiled their plans and no more bikes will fall in to their hands again!
If you see him or a silver astra hanging around and driving up and down the driveway at Cannock.. report them to the forestry guys!
Good work
A copper once advised me when years back we caught a teenager breaking into a garage that the best thing to do was give him a kicking. He was only 15 and they and the courts could do nothing. They knew the kid well and picked him up weekly so were sick to death of him. He thought a kicking would probably be better at teaching him a lesson.

The cops working on this particular case would love to hear from people that have seen him and his team at Cannock before. This case may or may not be successfully prosecuted, the often frustrating machinations of the justice system are not yet fully played out. However, a decent detective would love the opportunity to lock him up, seize his phone, download it and link to his accomplices. If you and others feel he is stealing to order, he's into more than a bit of thieving to feed his habit.
With the right information/evidence, this team could be taken for a conspiracy and a bit beyond.Even if the evidence of them being at Cannock before doesn't lead to new convictions, the intelligence will be invaluable. This sort of snippet is often the last piece that the whole jigsaw was waiting for. Organised Crime Groups at whatever level (and these may appear to be small fry, but don't be fooled) are a constant source of frustration to the cops, so make that call and report your suspicions.
Besides which, now he's been caught at Cannock he'll shift his attentions to Brizzle, or 'Degla or wherever.
Well done to all involved!
A customer had just called into the shop concerned about 2 suspicious looking lads down by the cafe. I had just finished informing the Forestry when a call came through that one of them had pinched a bike!
We are in discussion with the forestry about having a rouges gallery displayed around the site. This little git can be the first one on it along with half the regulars of Chase Trails trail builders!
Again well done to all who took part in catching the little scrot.
You could do a range of most wanted playing cards.

shame there's no kerbs at Birches Valley!

Too much NCIS on TV here.
Good news but people like that deserve a slap, he'll probably get a £50 fine and a tag to wear. Hopefully not though. I wish I could've caught the people who stole my 2010 Ghost 5900....And then my 2011 Ghost 5900!!!....*sobs*
Well done on doing what was the right thing.. I'm sure the desire to batter him must have been almost too much to bear...

Were you referring to my post with your NCIS jibe?( I think you meant CSI by the way, but never mind) You may want to follow this link. http://www.cellebrite.com/mobile-forensics-products/forensics-products/ufed-logical.html
It isn't fantasy, it's run-of-the-mill stuff. The machines are in daily use locally.

Nope. he was clearly referring to Drillski's post. Which featured a stabbed marine hence the NCIS reference.
