Youths cause chaos on stolen bike
TEENAGERS riding a stolen motorbike were causing havoc in Cheltenham this afternoon.
The youths, aged about 16, crashed into a number of parked cars, causing damage to several vehicles.
-
The police helicopter was called in to search for the youths, who refused to stop for police.
The motorbike was sited several times in the Coronation Square area, sometimes with a single rider, sometimes carrying a passenger.
The bike, a blue Yahama scrambler-type, was stolen from Gloucestershire College in Princess Elizabeth Way between 1pm and 5pm on Thursday.
Anyone with information on the youths should contact Gloucestershire Police on 0845 090 1234.

“Rather than wasting column inches on a mother and daughter who stupidly think Bourneside school are at fault for sending her and her piercing home (Yeah right), how about following up this story and helping get scum like these offenders off the street. There must be people out there who know who did this and they need to be exposed for the low lifes that they are!”

“Unfortunatly things like this are now common place, some of todays kids just dont care, there's no respect for other people or their possessions and more than likely their parent/s feel the same.
just a shame us law-abiding, tax-paying citizens are the victims and have to pickup the bill.”

“The fact that it was Hesters Way is irrelevant. The problem is that these feral low lifes really think that this is acceptable behaviour!
You steal someone elses property in broad daylight. You then spend the next 24 hours or so riding it in full view no more than 50 yards from the police station breaking further laws in the process and it means nothing!
Where is the bike now? In someones garden or garage? More likely burnt out to destroy the evidence! What a waste!
I would guess that GlosCol has CCTV and that they were seen in the act.
I would also guess that they are already "known" to the local police.
Find the little creeps and bang them up and if their parents object bang them up too.”
