The number of offences carried out by criminals using mopeds in London has increased by 30 times in five years.

Data obtained by the BBC shows a jump from 827 offences in 2012 to more than 23,000 last year.

My shares in moped manufacturers, stab vests and mobile phone vendors are paying dividends.

Det Supt Caroline Haines, who leads the operation tackling moped crime in Camden and Islington, was asked if her team had a handle on the issue.

She said: "Yes we do, absolutely. Yes, there is a significant increase on last year overall, and that is very disappointing.

No tulip sherlock.

Just change the law so the rozzers can knock the little tulips off 'em.

CC-TV cameras just need to be equipped with powerful lasers, so the controllers can zap miscreants from afar. It's cheaper and more effective than rooftop snipers.

Rates are at last on the up in London, slightly. However, kevlar vests are not cheap - think I'll give it a miss.

Should we have a London death count thread? There's more murders than days in the year in that city.
