Terrifying moment trio of hooded youths on motorbike spotted in Tesco car park

Three Edinburgh youths on the back of a motorbike have been captured speeding along a footpath behind a Tesco store after 'scouring' the car park during the day.

The trio of hooded individuals were seen on a pedestrian and cyclist path behind Tesco on Broughton Road on Saturday morning, with one eye witness claiming they were "looking for targets."

After the eye witness came across the three 'youths' driving around the car park on the old bike with no number plate, he began filming as they sped off into the distance.

The man posted the footage into a local Facebook group in the hope that others in the area would proceed with caution, and added that groups of youths up to no good "do not like to be filmed."

The man said that after they exited the car park, the driver swapped positions with the other youth, as they can be seen wearing dark clothing and carrying a rucksack on their back.

The eye witness said: "I saw three teenagers without helmets on a small bike with no number plate driving around the Tesco car park, clearly looking for targets.

"They then drove into the cycle path and stopped to swap driver clearly disregarding any laws for cycle paths and putting ordinary people at risk. They do not like to be filmed so I encourage anyone who sees such illegal activity to film and report it."
