A bumbling bike gang were spotted messing up a motorbike theft in broad daylight.

The masked trio attempted to nick a bike from a busy car park that had been covered to keep it clean.

One member of the gang, who was riding on the back of one of the motorbikes, leapt off the seat to snatch the ride.

They were then assisted by another member who had parked his getaway vehicle next to the target.

A shocked passer-by filmed the group as they struggled to remove the cover from the motorbike.

The clip was taken on Sunday (19 Jul), as reported by Need To Know.

One of them men, seemingly armed with an angle grinder, accessed the target trying to find the lock to release it.

The blundering gang quickly got cold feet after having a howler whilst trying to unlock the vehicle.

The two drivers started making their way out of the car park whilst one of the gang casually walked towards his rider.

The infuriated thieves then quickly fled the scene – after one stuck their middle finger up at the passer-by who filmed them.

The attempted robbery took place in a car park in Chilwell, Beeston.

The gang were all dressed in black, with gloves and biker helmets on.

Both motorbikes used by the crew had the number plates removed.

One of the gang members was believed to be riding a BMW F 450 GS which has a top speed of 103 mph.

According to statistics published by Bemoto, a bike vanishes every 24 minutes in Britain.

Members of the public were left shocked by the footage.

One person said: “Shame about the two stolen bikes they’re already riding.”
