nokia and the bicycle thieves

This likely lad is one of a gang I caught in the act of nicking a bicycle in Crescent Street, Islington recently. Courtesy of our valued client Nokia, we're all citizen journalists these days, and he was obliging enough to pose for the camera in appropriate 'young offender' pose. As you can see, he was terrified of the consequences of being caught in the act. ('It's a fair cop, guv, but society was to blame.')

I haven't heard anything back since reporting the incident, so thought I'd stick these pics on here, just in case anyone recognises him. (By the way, the bike he's riding here isn't the one that was being stolen, on this occasion at least.)

We've all heard about how cameras in mobile devices have changed the way that news is being reported and disseminated. This is my own little broadcast from the mean streets off the Cally Road.

And off they go, just after I used my Nokia to call the police.
