'Huge concern' as teen moped crime in London rises

Crime involving mopeds has gone up by more than 600% in London in the past two years, BBC London can reveal.

Met Police figures for 2016 show more than 7,500 offences, including attacks, robberies and thefts, recorded to date - about 22 per day.

The Met said the rise, which was mainly due to teenagers stealing mopeds and using them to commit crimes, was a "huge concern".

It has, however, denied the problem is "out of control".
