Theft of bicycles

Issued 11 January 2026

We’re carrying out patrols and have been hosting regular bike-marking events which are proving popular. Bike marking acts as a visible deterrent to thieves and boosts the chances of the bike being recovered if it is stolen. We recommend that residents also register their bike on the national database www.bikeregister.com
