Dopey bike thieves stole a £2,500 electric bike – then unwittingly called the owner for help recharging it.
Ben Jaconelli’s locked Go Cycle was stolen on Kingsland Road in Dalston.
But after contacting police, Mr Jaconelli, 30, who has just opened a shop on Old Street roundabout and runs the electric bike website Fully Charged, received a call from a man asking for a charger for a Go Cycle.
Realising it was for his beloved bike, Mr Jaconelli, of Kingsland Road, jumped into action, even going round to the thief’s house in a 1970s army tank.
