Police release further CCTV of thieving balaclava-clad bike gang causing havoc across Salford

Police have released more CCTV footage of brazen motorbike thieves following a series of thefts in Salford. The footage shows the masked group riding a number of bikes with others on foot.

In the videos one of the members can be seen holding some heavy duty pliers as they hold open a gate for others to run through. The thief holding the pliers also makes his way in the same direction and while two others on a bike keep the same gate open.

Police say they are continuing to investigate a series of thefts in the Pendleton, Charles Town and Ordsall area and are trying to 'identify' the offenders who appear in the video.
