Appeal - Stolen Motorbike

Hello All

🏍️  Appeal - Motorbike Stolen from the Wirksworth area...

On 14/10/26 between 19:30-23:30hours a white Honda motorbike was stolen from the Oat Hill area of Wirksworth.

We are appealing for any information, CCTV etc... around the incident. Please contact 101 and quote reference number - 26*624955.

In light of this here are a few safety tips to keep your motorbike or moped safe:

❙ Remove the keys.

❙ Lock your bike.

❙ Never rely on just using your steering lock to secure your bike.

❙ Fitting an alarm can be a deterrent to thieves.

❙ Using a disc lock helps to secure the front brake disc to physically stop it from being wheeled away.

❙ Use a grip lock to secure the brake and throttle controls. Sold Secure approved.

❙ Use a cover just doing this can mean thieves don’t ‘see’ it. Thieves often ‘shop’ for particular bike models, so using a bike cover instantly makes it less attractive to them, as they can’t see if it’s the model they are interested in. A cover also provides another time consuming obstacle for the thief.

❙ Property mark the parts.

❙ When at home the best place to keep your motorbike, moped or scooter is in your garage or shed. Fit a garage door defender or upgrade garage door locks.

❙ Garage and shed alarms as well as low level dusk to dawn lighting will also enhance security. Fitting a ground anchor also provides extra security. Many that are stolen are never recovered. Some are used in crime or broken down for parts.

If your bike is stolen - Never put yourself at risk.

Don’t make it easy for thieves
