Just how low will some thieves go?

Today we report on a despicable new trend - muggers using bikes to prey on their victims.

Bicycles have long been a feature of this city for decades, but now low-lives are using them to snatch bags and phones from people before making a speedy getaway.

But the good news is that police have set up a special task force to catch these callous crooks.

We only hope the long arm of the law catches up with them before someone is seriously hurt.
