Vigilante couriers are taking to the streets of London to fight back against moped crime.

Biker Biker is a volunteer group for riders across the capital who want to reclaim the city from moped thieves.

Members don stab vests and wear helmet cameras when they go out to protect themselves while they capture footage of crimes taking place on bikes.

Delivery driver and Biker Biker member Omar Marjan, 23 (still of helmet camera footage pictured) had just finished his route in Shepherd's Bush on Friday when the two men attempted to rob him

Several intervene at great personal risk, including Omar Marjan, who has been targeted at least three times and was stabbed in the hand while delivering parcels.

The 23-year-old managed to throw two men 'armed with hammers' off him when they cornered him as he finished his shift in west London in May.

Mr Marjan single-handedly fought off his attackers in Shepherds Bush, claiming he was ready for them after two previous assaults.

The attackers were forced to flee. The footage was then put on Mr Marjan's YouTube channel 'HandMuffWarrior'

He told Metro: 'I mentally went out every time on my bike as if I was going to war. 

'As I kept recording what was going on my following was going up and up. It got to the point where I was like 'there's a lot of them I need back up'.

After starting his own YouTube channel 'HandMuffWarrior' a year ago, he decided to join up with Biker Biker to make more of an impact.

He said: 'I joined a group called Biker Biker and I got back up from people who were also fed up.'

The collective also use Facebook and Instagram to track down thieves selling stolen bikes online.

Using fake accounts they trick them into a meet-up and surprise them with a gang of people to claim back the bike.

One Biker Biker video shows a masked vigilante driving to return a bike he retrieved after the thief who took it tried to sell it online.

When he meets the owner he explains what the volunteer group does across the country and the pair get a picture together to celebrate.

Biker Biker also shares posts concerning lost or stolen bikes on their Facebook page. 

Mr Marjan claims they then call the police to get 'permission' to remove the bike with a recovery truck. 

Another clip uploaded to YouTube shows the courier chase a young moped rider after allegedly knocking over a pizza delivery driver.  

The Metropolitan Police say there has been a 36 per cent reduction in moped crime since officers were given the power to 'ram' thieves last year.

But figures show moped-related offences have gone up from 827 in 2012 to a staggering 23,000 in 2017.

The Met says its so-called 'scorpion' drivers only use the tactic as a last resort to stop muggers who are a risk to pedestrians or putting police in danger. 

The force released footage of scorpion drivers on the job in November, leaving Londoners stunned at their new powers to knock suspects off their bikes.

Last week a dramatic video was posted online of moped thieves forced to flee a London estate after furious residents caught them trying to steal a bike.

Neighbours launched missiles at them from the heights of their tower block in Thamesmead, south east London.

Police were called at 9pm last Thursday but the thieves had already escapes. There have been no arrests. 

How Met Police's 'Scorpion' Squad got tough to ram moped muggers off the roads 

Last year the Metropolitan Police were given powers to 'ram' moped riders using them to carry out crime. 

So-called 'Scorpion' drivers are permitted to use force against moped thieves where appropriate.

Police say guidance on the use of vehicles in stopping mopeds is similar to that surrounding the use of force by officers on foot.

Officers are told they can only use force when it is 'absolutely necessary, reasonable and proportionate'.

Police car drivers have to keep this in mind when deciding whether to crash into a fleeing moped mugger.

Whereas police may have been more reluctant to chase robbers without helmets in previous years, the spike in moped crime has concentrated the minds of Scotland Yard chiefs.

More training for 'Scorpion' drivers and the increasingly dangerous tactics used by muggers has led to the method being more widely used.

There has been a furious backlash from politicians, however. Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott criticised the force saying it could prove very dangerous.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
