Serial bike thief filmed in police chase last year jailed again
A serial bike thief in Derby who was jailed last year after he was pursued by a cycling Police Community Support Officer (PCSO), with the video footage above going viral on social media, is back in prison after once again admitting stealing a bicycle.
The Derby Telegraph reports that Scott Liddle, from Pear Tree, admitted stealing the bicycle between 1 and 4 March this year.
He was also found to be in breach of a criminal behaviour order which banned him from Derby city centre and from even touching a bicycle.
Last September, we reported how a PCSO from Derbyshire Police had chased Liddle on his bike after he was spotted trying to steal a bicycle from outside Derby County’s Pride Park stadium.

The incident, on 24 August, resulted in the 37-year-old being handed a suspended 18-week jail sentence at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court.
Within a fortnight, however, he was in court again and given a 36-week prison sentence, plus the criminal behaviour order, following further thefts of bikes.
For his latest offence, Liddle has been jailed for 26 weeks and ordered to pay £800 compensation and a £115 victim surcharge.

An end of season used pro bike for £1500 is affordable, just choose the rider carefully.

Very nice. The stem looks quite futuristic for 1983. Do you know if it's original?

He can't afford front teeth, so what is the chance of him paying £915 compo and victim surcharge?
