Dear Residents, I hope this message finds you well. Iβm writing to inform you about a recent increase in motorbike and bicycle thefts in our area. These thefts have been occurring during both daytime and overnight hours. As your local Police Community Support Officer (PCSO), I want to ensure that everyone in our community is aware of the risks and takes simple steps to protect their property. π How to Keep Your Motorbike or Bicycle Safe: Use a high-quality lock, preferably a D-lock or heavy-duty chain, even if you're parking on your driveway or in a garage. Use more than one type of lock β this makes it harder and more time-consuming for thieves to target your bike. Secure your bike or motorbike to a solid, immovable object like a ground anchor or sturdy railing. Park in busy, well-lit locations with CCTV coverage whenever possible. Use a security marking kit and register your bicycle or motorbike with a service like BikeRegister or Datatag. This helps us return recovered items to their rightful owners. A simple cover can deter thieves by making it less obvious what make/model is underneath. If you see anything unusual, please report it immediately by calling 101 or using the police website. In an emergency, always dial 999. Weβre working closely with local patrols and community groups to keep our streets safe. If youβd like more tailored advice or have any concerns, donβt hesitate to get in touch with me directly. Stay safe and secure, PCSO C9858 PEERLESS | ||||
