Bike Description

Black Edition Brompton bikes feature a number of key components in black rather than the usual silver. My bike had a Swytch e-bike conversion kit installed. Also a rear luggage rack for a bag. It was stolen in a violent attack in the Well Street Common area of Hackney, London.

Theft Description

A violent attack and targeted theft of a Brompton Black Edition (Serial Number: 2007300231  |  Frame number: 779238). The thieves must be well-known to local Police, and operate frequently in this area of Well Street Common, Hackney. The attack took place in broad daylight at 18:00 on Sat 27 March 2022. The 5 attackers were on moped/dirt bikes wearing all-black sports-style clothing. I was ambushed as I left Well Street Common, on Bradstock Road, towards Homerton. The thieves cornered me and my bike between parked cars. When I didn't give the bike up easily they repeatedly kicked and punched my face and head. The attack took around 2 minutes in total. There were some witnesses, but very difficult to identify the gang, as they were dressed in full black sports gear, with face coverings. Any information, please contact the Police, quoting ref: 4608221/22.
