How is there any doubt that the guy in the Hi-Viz was involved?
He arrives at the same time as the would be thieves, tries to help get the bike out the front door, wields a hammer when he is pushed off his scooter and leaves with the would be thieves.

The guy is blatantly involved...

If he wasn't, I'd assume he would do what I would do. After being pushed off my bike by some big chap I would not reach for a hammer but simply take my helmet off and call the police to report an assault and damage to my bike. I certainly would not flee the scene if I was the innocent party.

I assume he has still not come forward to the police to report the damage, pretty obvious why...

It was obviously Hi-Vis's first armed robbery so he had to wear the novice's vest.

I agree mate, anyone who thinks different is either a troll or needs to book an appointment at specsavers asap.

Hindsights a great thing but i bet they wish they wouldve grabbed one of the little ****s now, they were kids, you can tell by their body language, they were trying to be threatening with the tools but if they really wanted to hurt someone with them they could of.

Wouldnt you just love to catch them and turn the cctv off

Not just body language, but their whole build and frame sizes, point to them being under 20. They look like they are yet to mature......even with a lid on.

Don't see how Hi vis was not involved tbh. If i saw what their actions on a tape in a court room I would guess he was part of the robbery as why else would they have a hammer under his/her seat

It would appear the BBC are reporting that there were 6 of them...

Oh...didnt realise but right at the end they throw a metal bar and it appears to hit one of the staff members on the back of the head!! Didn't see that the first time round.
