Gang Of Thives Targeting Pubs In Hackney

A Friend was at The Prince George the other day and the landlord came up to him asking if that was his bike out side, he said yeah, why? and the landlord told him that there's a gang that always drive around in a van full of power tools and pinch all the bikes from there every weekend. The pub staff try to scare them off, but they just come back a few minutes later.
He reckoned they do all the pubs in the area.

They seem to come around 11pm and if they can't get bikes they will strip the parts. They also target the Birdcage.
