A thief on an e-bike has been caught stealing an 8ft Christmas Nutcracker statue from an Edinburgh cocktail bar. More ➡️

Police have identified a suspect

Looks like a highly qualified engineer

When will police start to stop and search everyone with a face covering? It's abnormal.

There's hundreds of cameras along George street and every connecting street heading out the city centre, can't be that hard to track down where they went

WHISKY OSCAR GOLF

Found him

Electric Motor Bike, not e-bike, lazy reporting

The SNP will look you dead in the eyes and say no Scotland isn't a shit hole now under 20 years of our regime.

Cash converters probably give him £20 for it.

E-bike?! I don’t see any pedals on that thing. Looks like an electric motorcycle. Get it right. Stop demonising e-bikes whenever you get the chance.

When I was a student in Edinburgh decorating your flat with bizarre stuff you've drunkenly stolen was pretty common. This idiot went too far, should have stuck with traffic cones.

Too many of these wastes of humanity in the UK right now. Some might crack jokes and find it amusing, but incidents like this just show me how far we haven fallen as a nation.

I assumed this was some overzealous Shug with too many pints of Tennents in him. Turns out it's an ebike migrant trying to destroy christmas.

Christmas spirit is alive and well. 🙄

This guy on an e scooter and black hoody is getting all over the country doing these crimes . Can the Rozzers do a stop and search when they spot him

How people walk on by and ignore, but that, alas is the society we have perpetuated as they have lost faith in the law and not their problem attitude encouraged and enabled.

Just talk with your normal voice, the put on pronunciation is so jarring

🎶 You were working as a nutcracker in a cocktail bar When I stole you 🎶

Is he nuts?

Deport

Kat Williams?

The things these doctors do on their night off. 🤔

One of the SNP's "new" Scots, or in other words, an African.

@jlcplnd We've been here?😲

Ooh loving the Sun-style reportage

There once was a thief on a bike, Whose taste was bizarrely Nutcracker-like. He nicked the tall chancer, Made off like a dancer, And Edinburgh sighed, “Aye… typical, right?”

Bet Reform will blame the small boats.

It will be in bits before he gets to his destination

Never known a doctor to ride a e-bike

As someone who lives in Edinburgh, these wee fannies ride around on their electric motorbikes all the time. Brazen as you like, broad daylight on the road. Nobody stops them, nobody cares.

Motorbike**

WTF!

I’m sorry but you have to laugh at his effort & people just walking past him.
