A restaurant supervisor has hit out after a balaclava-clad gang attempted to steal her <\/a>bike while she was working.<\/p>\n Footage captured by a diner at Le Petit Beefbar on George Street in Edinburgh<\/a> show a group of three thieves attempting to take the bike on Thursday.<\/p>\n Anna Mykhailova, 22, says the group used ‘large rocks’ in an attempt to smash off the lock before diners and colleagues at the restaurant<\/a> ‘teamed up’ against the trio in broad daylight.<\/p>\n Anna said she was “relieved” her bike was not taken but says if the group hadn’t acted fast “it could have been gone in minutes”.<\/p>\n She told Edinburgh Live<\/a>: “My colleagues told me not to freak out but when I found out what happened, my face completely changed – I thought it was a joke at first.<\/p>\n “There was three guys trying to steal my bike but a customer was screaming at them and trying to get them off<\/p>\n “Another bartender screamed at them too and told them to leave. Luckily, the bike lock did it’s job because they had a rock with them and started smashing it but they couldn’t get it off.<\/p>\n “The police<\/a> were there within five minutes. The group was three males in balaclavas and all of them were on the same moped.”<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n All you have to do is click here if you’re on mobile<\/strong><\/a>, select ‘Join Community’ and you’re in!<\/p>\n If you’re on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click ‘Join Community’.<\/p>\n We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
