Gladstone Police (USA) has released some video footage of the moment a police officer interrupts a male who was trying to ‘relieve’ them of one of their bikes.
In the video (below) you can clearly see the suspect walk up to the bike before kneeling down and trying to ‘unlock’ it.
After a short while, a Cop then walks up to the individual before quickly convincing the male to ‘give up’ without too much persuasion.
Whilst we have seen some pretty brazen acts before, this one has to be ‘up there’ as being one of the most shameless attempts to take property belonging to someone else!
Perhaps the fact that the individual who was caught in the act was also wearing a face mask, also alerted police officers that something was ‘amiss’ as he walked up to the police station.
The male should perhaps count himself ‘lucky’ that he did not get several thousand volts of ‘what are you doing’ during the impudent act.
We doubt that he could ever use the excuse that he did not know that the bike belonged to the police, as not only was the window under which it was parked adorned with the word ‘police’ but the bike itself also had police markings on it.

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.
One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.
We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!
As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.
