IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.

The gang chased him down until he fell off his bike, assaulted him and took his pedal cycle and a bag.
The victim was assisted by a female passerby after the assailants fled and police are now appealing for her to come forward.
The bike is a blue Cove make mountain bike style and “Stiffie” model, with yellow forks, orange pedals and green bars.

A group of males on mopeds.
Shouldn't be difficult to find, given I have never seen one moped in Edinburgh, never mind a moped "gang".
Or am I being a smidgen cynical about the truthfulness of this story?
Oh I've seen them! Up and down leith walk and Easter road 3 hoodies on an obviously stolen moped/scooter.
I reported a stolen crashed moped that was abandoned in polwarth last week.
Fair enough, but story says 6 males on 4 mopeds.....like its a mini Rome here
I'm confused, who would be making that up, and why?
They're making the 'moped' bit up. They'll have been on scooters.
"white, 16-years-old, skinny build, 5ft 2in to 5ft 5in, long black hair, pale complexion"
Hardly a youth to be seen round our way with long hair. I expect the constabulary will know exactly who this is.
Three youths driving along Ferry Road Path on one motorbike (could possibly be described as a moped) without lights between Ainslie Park and Crewe Toll at about 8.30 this evening. About 100 metres later about 10 more in a group blocking the path, although they did slightly part to allow me through. Felt quite intimidated though.
