PMD-riding youths in Canberra car park apparently try to steal from unlocked vehicles & motorcycle IUs

Personal mobility devices (PMDs) can be useful tools that support last-mile connectivity -- or making a quick getaway.

Dashboard camera footage showed a group of PMD-riding youths making their way around a multi-storey car park, apparently trying to steal from unlocked cars and exposed motorcycle IUs.

The footage was posted online on Feb. 23.

Youths' actions caught on camera

The footage showed one of the youths riding over to a parked car and apparently checking if it was unlocked. Another youth on a PMD with a female passenger then rode into the frame.

The youths do not appear to be aware that their actions were being filmed.

The footage was apparently filmed in Canberra on Feb. 20 at around 5pm, according to the video's caption.
