On Wednesday night, I believe the early hours of Thursday, one of my cat sitters had her bike stolen from Neville Road, Stoke Newington. She blames herself as she did not lock it because it was just after 1 am and she going to be in and out in minutes. A friend called her in a panic because she could see via pet camera in the kitchen, the cat auto feeder did not open and being the kind person Sally is, she went over to sort things out.
When she came out minutes later, her bike was gone. Police are aware and also have footage. Anyone recognises this thief? #StokeNewington#Hackney

A statement from @mayorofhackney following the horrific attack at Bondi Beach, Australia today.
ALT Caroline Woodley, the Mayor of Hackney, said: “I am shocked to hear of the deadly attack in Australia and am thinking of everyone affected there and also here in Hackney. This terrible event, coming as Jewish communities gather to mark Hanukkah, must strengthen our resolve and make us more determined than ever to ensure people can celebrate faith in safety. “Our local police and partners will carry out extra patrols in Hackney, and we will together engage with our Jewish communities to understand what further help and reassurance we can offer. “Now more than ever Hackney stands with its communities. We will always remain no place for hate.”
