As Booldawg has pointed out, the DM felt it pertinent to mention that one of these people was wearing a burka. But no mention what the other was wearing. Even if he was wearing a bright yellow hat, it is doubtful if the DM would think it important enough to include in their reportage.
As Alice use to say, curiouser and curiouser.

it's on the BBC news, and there appeared to be more than the two individuals, did you look at the pictures of the mess in the shop, reports indicated that 6 people wielding axes smashed the cabinets up, glass all over the place. The two men, and who honestly has ever seen a woman in a burkha in Britain riding a moped, got caught, good for the members of the public, time more stood up and were counted.
if you want to bash the DM fine, but as i already pointed out in made news elsewhere, seeing as how this was a violent crime, in the centre of London

I was merely pointing out the essential racism in the DMs approach to this story. The issue of whether one of them was wearing a burka was neither here nor there. It was included so that the readers of the DM could reinforce their hackneyed views on modern Britain. The DM is preaching to its own converted.
In defence of the Daily Mail, it said the other had his face concealed by his motorbike helmet. If the burkha one had been wearing a clown's mask, then I am sure they would have reported that. It is more sinister to deliberately omit details.
That is not to say that this incident supports a ban on burkha wearing. Criminals dress in various disguises, Santas, masks etc and that doesn't and shouldn't bring about a ban on those outfits and items.

Oh so it is now 'racism' to report that one of the crooks wore a burka, do any of you realise how pathetic you are, in your everlasting quest to have a dig at the Daily Mail?
The Daily Mail was only reporting the unusual facts, would they have been also wrong in some way if they had reported that one of the crooks was wearing a clown's outfit or that one was male and the other female?
And I am equally sure they would have reported it if they had worn balaclavas with the letters EDL printed on them.
