Suspect, who previously escaped Police by wearing no helmet, meets sticky end, wearing no helmet
A SUSPECTED motorcycle thief, who police previously refused to pursue in connection with a robbery at a motorbike store because he was not wearing a helmet, has been killed in a motorcycle crash - while wearing no helmet.Bobby Carl Hodgkins, 24, was one of two men held after the raid on a motorcycle showroom in Altrincham, reported on Visordown last month.Manchester Police came in for stiff criticism after Officers were told not to pursue the thieves because they were not wearing safety helmets.However Hodgkins came unstuck at the weekend when he was killed after a collision with a van on Saturday, while riding a stolen motorbike. Police say he was not wearing a helmet.Mr Hodgkins, from Wythenshawe, had been due to answer bail on 10 September over the thefts of three motorcycles valued at over £17,000 from the Manchester Motorbike Store on 12 August.

Serves him right!
But agree with mobus, not good for the poor van driver.

Ha ha ha ha. The planet just got a little lighter.
This kind of parasite is not what our species or society needs and I'd have happily swapped places with the van driver. Shame his mates weren't on pillion.
Just hope nobody feels the need to mourn this piece of sh*t.
This sums it up nicely:

Spare a thought for the family....
They are probably at liberty to breed and raise more of his kind. Scum begets scum!

I'm asking for a donation to set up a fund. I want to buy a Toyota van and hope his mate runs into it.
Scumshit got what he deserved. No sympathy at all other than for the poor sods that have to clean up the mess.

Yes he was stupid, yes he was breaking the law...
But these offences do not warrant the death penalty.
A 24 year old kid, I hope this never happens to my son!
