London police extend electric bike patrols
London police have continued to enhance their efforts to combat theft crimes by expanding their fleet of electric bikes. They have launched 20 new bicycles capable of reaching speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour, enabling officers to pursue suspects in areas that are difficult to access by car, including staircases. These measures have resulted in increased effectiveness in reducing mobile phone thefts, with the number of such crimes decreasing from around 68,000 to 54,000 over a 12-month period ending in May. This comes amid criticisms regarding rising crime rates, but recent data indicates a decline in theft and robbery crimes in London.
