Brazen thieves post pictures of over 100 stolen motorbikes - including a Domino's bike - on Instagra

A GANG of thieves have set up an Instagram account called 'Bristolbiketaker' where they brag about all the motorcycles they have stolen.

More than 100 pictures and videos have been shared on the account, and even includes a Dominos pizza delivery bike.

The account has 1,200 followers, who can see the thieves speeding down the motorway on the stolen bikes - uninterested in hiding their crimes.

The account description reads: "They call me Mr steal your bikeJail rider/Bristol we take anything and everything."

Often they are obscured by wearing balaclavas, but the thieves also use emojis to hide their faces.

Locals have raised the issue of bikes being stolen in the area on a public forum - and the crooks used their Instagram account to taunt concerned bikers.

They Instagrammed a screenshot of the post reading: "We know that a gang of scr***s based around Southmead and Lawrence Weston are nicking the majority of bikes around north Bristol."

The shared the post, with the caption: "Can't catch us".

One man who had his bike stolen by the gang then saw it pop up on the account.

The victim, who wanted to remain anonymous, said: "I popped in The Mall at Cribbs Causeway to get my wife's Christmas present.

"I was only there for an hour but when I came out the bike, a Triumph Street Triple, had been taken."

The Triumph was later recovered from an abandoned quarry in north Bristol.

He said: "I told the police about what was happening and it seemed to me it would only be a matter a time before somebody was going to get seriously injured."

A spokesperson from Avon and Somerset Police said: "We are aware of the social media account and the content is actively under investigation."
