Knife-Wielding Robber Snatches Scrambler Bike
On 18 October 2024, Cripps lurked near Manor Green School in Maidenhead. When his victim rode a Sur-Ron scrambler bike onto the school grounds, Cripps’ vehicle followed. He jumped out brandishing a knife, threatening the rider before grabbing the bike and making off.
The police acted fast. The next day Cripps was arrested at his home, where officers uncovered a stash of cash, knives, and both Class A and B drugs.
Detective Vows To Crack Down on Drug Crime
“Drug supply causes real harm to our communities, exploiting vulnerable people and fuelling crime,” said Detective Constable Peter Hindley of Maidenhead’s Priority Crime Team. “This operation shows our commitment to tackling those who deal drugs and ensuring offenders like Cripps are brought to justice. We will continue to disrupt criminal networks and protect the public from the damage they cause.”
