Crime Alert - Theft of a motorbike

Dear Resident,

We have taken several reports of males attempting to steal motorbikes that are parked up in the area where you live. If you own a motorbike, please ensure that it is locked up when left unattended and, where possible, stored inside a garage/out building.

To reduce the risk of your motorbike being stolen, please read through the below advice -

Use two additional locks to secure your motorbike, such as a wheel chain and a brake disc lock. We recommend using Secured by Design accredited products

Consider fitting a tracker

Consider fitting an alarm if there isn't one installed already.

If you can't secure your bike in a garage, cover it up, so the make and model cannot be easily seen.

If you leave your bike in garage/shed, make sure that they are secure and alarmed.

Don't leave the keys where they can be easily found.

Consider fitting motion activated CCTV that will alert you to movement near your motorbike.

Please also find attached the Police Crime Prevention Handbook which covers a broad range of crime prevention advice.

Thank you

Humberside Police
