We are seeing more people out on bicycles, likely because some of the lockdown restrictions have been eased.
However, bicycle theft continues to increase and demand for bicycles remains high. Please consider the following tips, and remember as a general rule - if you’re not sat on it, secure it!
Follow these tips to help prevent you becoming a victim of bike crime.
And finally!
Don't be tempted to buy a stolen second-hand bike. Insist on proof of ownership and check the bike frame number on the Bike Checker at www.bikeregister.com
If your bike has been stolen, contact the police on the non-emergency number 101, or online at www.cleveland.police.uk. Give them your frame number, BikeRegister number, photo and any other details and register your bike as stolen on BikeRegister.
Lock it or risk losing it!
If you have any information about a crime, contact Cleveland Police on 101. Always call 999 in an ongoing emergency. You can also contact independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
