📑 Incident Report: Attempt Theft

We are appealing for any information or relevant CCTV/dashcam footage following two separate reports of interference with motorcycles.

Around the time of 4am on the morning of Sunday 8th March,  CCTV footage shows 2 unknown males interefering with 2 motorcycles, which were secured at a property on Romney Close.  Damage was caused to the cover of the bikes and one was pushed over but the theft of either bike was unsuccessful.

Further along the road, at Romney Croft a secured motorcycle and mobility scooter were found abandoned on the grassed area.  A cover had been removed and discarded on the ground  by where the vehicles had been secured, before they had been dragged out onto the grass.  The offenders have left empty handed.

Thieves only need a matter of seconds to steal a moped, scooter or motorcycle - especially if they are left with poor security - but our tips will help reduce the chance of theft.

🔐 Lock - 
Use a disc lock to help secure the front brake disc, or a grip lock to secure the brake and throttle controls. You could also use a D lock on the front wheel to stop it being wheeled away.

⛓️ Chain - 
Thieves often steal a bike by breaking the steering lock and wheeling it away. Use a chain lock through the back wheel (the front wheel can be removed). Secure your bike, with the lock taut to an immovable object such as a ground anchor or street furniture. This will stop thieves from cutting a lock trailing on the ground using an angle grinder. If this isn’t possible, thread the chain through your bike frame and back wheel.

Cover - 
Thieves often ‘shop’ for particular bike models. Using a cover instantly makes it less attractive to them. A cover also provides another time consuming obstacle for the thief.

When at home the best place to keep your motorcycle, moped or scooter is in your garage or shed. 
•    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.

No shed or garage? 
•    Park it in an area near to your home where it’s well overlooked with good lighting.
•    A Park Mark approved car park has a higher level of security than other car parks.
