Quote:
Crime involving mopeds has gone up by more than 600% in London in the past two years, BBC London can reveal.
Met Police figures for 2016 show more than 7,500 offences, including attacks, robberies and thefts, recorded to date - about 22 per day.
The Met said the rise, which was mainly due to teenagers stealing mopeds and using them to commit crimes, was a "huge concern".
It has, however, denied the problem is "out of control".

I think it is out of control and that's why it's on the increase at such a rate and going to get worse. Around here groups of these kids race around brazenly getting up to all sorts of dangerous and anti-social nonsense on the roads, pavements and parks so quite evidently the police aren't able to catch them. The troublemakers are only too aware that the more risks they take, the more likely it is for the police to just let them go.
