Six Jewelry Thieves Flee Robbery On A Single Moped In London
Six Jewelry Thieves Flee Robbery On A Single Moped In London-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:14:06

Six thieves arrived on three mopeds at a jewelry store in London on Monday night and robbed the place before leaving on a single moped, having abandoned one at the scene and crashed another, . Six people on a single moped! The escape, somehow, was successful.

Police are on the hunt for the thieves, who carried out what was described as a “smash-and-grab” theft at Mappin & Webb, a London jeweler. It’s unknown how much the thieves made off with, but they came wielding bats and machetes and at least one hammer. The whole thing lasted about three minutes, :

Witnesses told how the gang armed with bats, machetes and hammers threatened customers and security guards when they tried to set off the alarm.

Terrified shoppers fled into the flagship Tommy Hilfiger store next door fearing a terrorist attack after encountering the knifemen.

Three accomplices waited outside on revved-up scooters moped holding baseball bats to keep the gang’s escape route clear.

It is believe one group was tackled by a security guard forcing them to leave their scooter behind and flee on foot.

Another pair fled in the direction of Oxford Street before their moped hit a woman causing her minor injuries.

Let’s return to the key detail here, though: six humans on a single moped. Is this even possible? According to the Evening Standard, maybe not! The police report was based on a single eyewitness description, meaning that the moped could have carried fewer than six humans, and some of them might have fled through other means, like on foot. Maybe six humans briefly attempted to ride on a single moped? I dunno. Either visual is very good.

This Is What A Nuclear 'Fizzle' Looks Like
This Is What A Nuclear 'Fizzle' Looks Like
Nuclear bombs—with a few exceptions—are designed to create huge explosions. In some cases, they’re supposed to have extra bits and pieces in the service of making even HUGER (it’s a word now) explosions. Occasionally all of that fails, and what you get is called a “fizzle.” Here’s why it happens....

Watch This BMW Car And BMW Scooter Perform A Brutal Ballet Of Destruction
Anyone remember the BMW C1 scooter? From the early 2000s? BMW decided that they wanted to make a scooter that was as safe as a European compact car of the era, and the canopied C1 was the result. I’m not sure if it actually was that safe, but it’s fun...

Comment Of The Day: Fuel Economy Edition [Update: REVOKED]
You think you’re all “cool” with your Bugatti Chiron and its nine miles to the gallon. Feh! Feh, I say. What does that have, a mere 1,479 horsepower? Weak. What you need is a Saturn V rocket. The Saturn V, with its 138-foot-tall S-IC first stage, generated 7,600,000 pounds of...
