🚨 Crime Prevention Alert: Stolen Motorcycles 🚨

Dear Community,

We want to remind everyone about the growing issue of motorcycle theft in our area and offer some practical tips to help protect your property. Motorcycle theft is often a crime of opportunity, and by taking a few simple precautions, we can reduce the risk of becoming a victim.

Protect Your Motorcycle:

  • Always Lock It: Even if you're only leaving your motorcycle for a short time, always lock both the steering and the wheels.
  • Use High-Quality Locks: Invest in a sturdy chain lock or disc lock, preferably one that’s difficult to cut.
  • Park in Well-Lit, Busy Areas: Whenever possible, park your motorcycle in a secure location, such as a designated bike rack or a busy, well-lit area with lots of foot traffic.
  • Install an Alarm or GPS Tracker: Adding a motion-sensitive alarm or GPS tracking device can make it more difficult for thieves to get away unnoticed.
  • Take Photos and Record Details: Keep a record of your motorcycle’s make, model, VIN number, and any unique features or customizations. If it’s stolen, these details can help with recovery.
  • If You See Something Suspicious:

  • Report any suspicious activity around motorcycles or garages to South Wales Police immediately.
  • Take note of suspicious individuals, vehicles, or unusual behaviour. It could make a difference in recovering stolen property.
  • By staying vigilant and taking these simple steps, we can help protect our community from motorcycle theft. Together, we can make it harder for criminals to succeed!

    Stay safe and secure!
