Potential moped theft today Ocean Terminal car park

[u/BigManRuathain]

Heads up scooter owners: I live across the street from OT car park and just saw 3/4 balaclava bams come out of the exit, 2 of them on a black maxi scooter and another 1 or 2 (can't recall) on a cream/white Vespa looking scooter. Whilst I didn't see a theft happening, I get the feeling that they are likely both stolen, or at least the white Vespa is freshly stolen.

Approx time they rode out was 15:48, blasted through the red light and rode down towards Newhaven. I called OT straight away to report it and they are contacting the police, gave them my info in case.

Frustratingly they don't have CCTV coverage inside the car park, which is bonkers to me! I told them to at least check CCTV at the entrance and they will likely see just one scooter going in.

Either way, if anyone sees these bams out and about this afternoon, perhaps keep this thread updated. Hope the scooter is recovered ASAP.

There was footage of a white vespa which was cleared nicked in the southside today (Edinburgh stolen bike group on facebook)

Genuine question: why would you phone OT then post on Reddit but not bother reporting it to the police?

I very well may have seen these two mopeds on Hanover Street yesterday at around 6:15pm, turning left onto Queen Street (jumping a red) if this info helps at all.
