Police are so incompetent criminals are bold enough to attempt to kidnap children, in broad daylight, in heavy traffic. https://media.giphy.com/media/RIFWnU...07kN/giphy.gif

BBC News: London 'boy-snatch robbery' moped gang jailed

"Members of a moped gang who threatened to hurt a woman's three-year-old son in a "shocking" attempted robbery have been jailed.

The mother was grabbed in June in Richmond, London, by a man, saying "give me your rings - I'm going to hurt your child and take him away".

She dragged her child into the road before builders chased the gang away.

The gang of 12 were also involved in stealing BBC camera equipment from the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race.

The men were all sentenced at Kingston Crown Court on Monday.

The court heard how the woman had been walking hand-in-hand with her son in Sandpits Road on 21 June when gang member John McFadyen, 24, grabbed her arm.

She pulled away into the road and builders brandishing scaffolding poles then chased the gang away."

So not an actual kidnapping, just a threat to facilitate street robbery.
