Bungling thieves have been caught on CCTV stealing a motorbike in east London in footage which shows one of the men fall over during the theft.
The suspected burglar is seen falling over with his legs swinging in the air as he tries to steal the bike from the underground car park in Tower Hamlets.
The camera footage shows the two men ride a moped into the car park, in Wapping High Street, before stopping next to a parked motorbike.
The pair can be seen breaking the lock on the grey Suzuki motorbike and then pushing it out of the car park before fleeing the scene.
The commercial burglary happened at around 7am on Saturday, September 10 – but it was not reported to police until Tuesday.
Detectives have now launched an investigation and want to speak to the two men seen in the video.
The first suspect is described as a white man wearing a black motorbike helmet, dark blue jumper, light coloured jeans and black shoes.
The second suspect is described as white, with a black and grey motorbike helmet, dark blue jumper with a white logo and dark blue trousers and trainers.
PC Ryan Smith, the officer in the case for Tower Hamlets CID, said: “We are keen to hear from anyone who may recognise those shown in the footage or the still released, or anyone who witnessed the theft.”
No one has yet been arrested, the Met Police said.
Anyone that can assist the investigation is asked to contact Tower Hamlets CID via 101. To give information anonymously contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or visit crimestoppers-uk.org
