Bicycle Theft

Hello Resident

Don't give cycle thieves an easy ride

follow these simple crime prevention tips

Lock it or lose it.

Securely lock your bicycle to an immoveable point or cycle anchor every time you leave it. Use a ridge D lock- flexible chain and knotted chain locks can easily be snapped - and take with you smaller parts that cannot be secured.

Visit www.soldsecure.com for information on security tested D locks and ground anchors.

Steer clear of criminals.

Do not leave you bicycle unattended on isolated areas for long periods of time.

Store it securely at home in a locked shed or garage or bring it inside the property.

Register your ride.

Take Photographs of you bicycle and make a note of the make/model and frame number.

Engrave or UV mark your postcode on the frame.

Register the details for free on the national property registration database www.immobilise.com and help police return a found or stolen bicycle to you.
