Stolen / illegal motorcyles

The local policing team are aware of ongoing issues in the area with stolen and illegally ridden motorcycles. We are keen to assist with recovering these bikes and dealing with those responsible. Information from the public is key for us to be able to tareget offenders.

To reduce the risk of your motorbike being stolen, please read through the below advice -

Use two additional locks to secure your motorbike, such as a wheel chain and a brake disc lock. We recommend using Secured by Design accredited products

Consider fitting a tracker

Consider fitting an alarm if there isn't one installed already.

If you can't secure your bike in a garage, cover it up, so the make and model cannot be easily seen.

If you leave your bike in garage/shed, make sure that they are secure and alarmed.

Don't leave the keys where they can be easily found.

Consider fitting motion activated CCTV that will alert you to movement near your motorbike.

Please also find attached the Police Crime Prevention Handbook which covers a broad range of crime prevention advice.
