Look Out For Cycle Theft |
Information sought Police in Northallerton are advising locals to ensure their pedal cycles are securely locked when at home. This follows the theft of bikes between Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 October from addresses on Ashlands Close and Bankhead Road. Among the bikes stolen were three children’s cycles, a girl’s pink BMX, a girl’s silver cycle with white tyres and beads hanging from the handlebars and a child’s JCB bike with stabilizers and pedals on the front wheels. Also stolen, from a second address, were two adult mountain bikes, one black and one green.
The stolen bikes had been left in the front gardens of the houses. PC Jim Egan, of the Northallerton Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “Any theft is a disgrace but even more so when the items stolen clearly belong to children. “If anyone knows who stole the bikes or where they are now I ask them to contact me immediately.“The stolen bikes had been left in the front gardens of the houses.”
“I ask that homeowners take a few minutes to ensure that pedal cycles are either securely locked or better still kept out of sight of potential thieves.” Below are some practical and simple steps you can take to avoid becoming a victim of crime: •Keep property locked securely in a shed or outbuilding •
