Who are the Chingford moped robbers?

IT WAS 3rd May, around noon, and a cash delivery and collection was taking place at the Sainsbury’s shop on Hall Lane, Chingford. Two men, riding a blue and silver motor scooter approached.

The pillion passenger got off the scooter and ran up to the man who was carry the cashbox into the store – and grabbed it, before running back to the scooter and getting back on the pillion. The scooter drove away, in the direction of Haringey or Hackney.

The crime is being investigated by the Flying Squad, and detectives have now released two images of moped riders they wish to speak to in connection with this robbery. The police have since found that the scooter was displaying false numberplates.

Detective Constable Tom Boow from the Flying Squad said, “The two suspects were wearing distinctive clothing, including matching dark purple puffer-style jackets, dark purple trousers, black and purple trainers and black helmets. This brazen offence took place in broad daylight, and we are hoping that these images may jog the memory of someone who witnessed the robbery.”
