A London local authority has released CCTV footage of a thief ransacking the contents of a range rover then attempting to make good his escape on a so-called Boris Bike.<br /><br />Although the pay-as-you-go two-wheelers are not known as the most nimble or agile of bicycles, 31-year-old Jake Nedd deemed them to be the ideal getaway vehicle for his crime.<br /><br />However, the police soon arrived after receiving a call from members of Hammersmith & Fulham Council’s CCTV team and apprehended Nedd after using the door of their van to knock him of his bike. <br /><br />He has since been sentenced to 28 weeks in prison for his crimes.<br /><br />Inspector Richard Berns, tweeted the footage, along with the words: “This criminal tried to get away, but thanks to the driving of A/PS Field & a (small + proportionate) nudge from me, he got 28 weeks instead.”<br /><br />A/PS refers to “acting police sergeant.”<br />
