NEWS: This year London has been met with an alarming rise in thieves

committing crimes on scooters and pedicycles.

Experts claim that many of these young people have been co-opted

by serious organised crime gangs.

The Metropolitan Police commissioner has yet to come up with

a successful strategy to tackle this new form of crime.

ENGINE STARTS

NEWS: Moped gangs on London's streets,

brazenly stealing from pedestrians,

some going to any lengths to take from their victim.

Now, new figures obtained by BBC London

show that moped-assisted deaths and robberies in shopping hotspots

have increased six-fold over the last two years.

The situation is a huge concern for the Met Police.

Certainly the crime of the moment it appears in London,

young gang-affiliated boys for example,

will actively rob these mobile phones

because they can sell them for high value.

People willing to risk a lot more to take us down.

Anyway, at one point the boat that we were on with the smugglers...

...at one point it just stops, right?

Bare far from the shore, bare fuckin' far.

The shore was all the way the fuck over there, right?

And the guy driving the boat...

He looks at us, right, and with a straight face the guy goes, "Swim."

What?

The water was freezing, like.

I still have PTSD from that fuckin' water, bruv.

And I was young, innit.

I was like five or six, I was bare young.

But even then fam, I knew, innit.

I made my mind up right then and there.

I'm gonna have money, bruv

and nobody's ever gonna make me do something like that again.

That's why I do what we do, it's a means to an end.

And I can tell it's a means to an end for you, too.

But...

..this thing with Roach, man.

Bro, you know loyalty don't mean shit

when you're doing a ten stretch in prison, right?

Ask Mole, he's been there.

You need to cut him, man.

You need to cut him, it just needs to be done.

It's a job for those of us who need to catch up

on some of the privileges we didn't inherit, you get me?

They call it organised crime on the news for a reason, fam.

Throwing acid at people on the streets

cos you fuckin' felt like it ain't organised.

And if you treat this like a job...

..with an expiration date, you can have anything that you want.

What even is it, I haven't asked you. What is it that you want?

You can say, fam, I won't laugh.
