The Men Who Hunt Stolen Motorbikes
In one British city plagued by motorbike theft, a volunteer group is trying to track down stolen bikes. But will they be successful?
In Bristol, in the south-west of England, motorbike theft is rife, and criminals use social media to brag about their exploits and even extort money from their victims.
But some bikers, sick of losing their treasured possessions, have started to take matters into their own hands.
They’ve formed a Facebook group to try to hunt down stolen motorbikes. And using the tips from group members, they try to hunt down the stolen motorbikes and reunite them with their owners.
But will their plan work?
