Watch out, cyclists, there are thieves about

Wednesday, 11th August 2010.

Bicycle owners in Haverhill are being warned to lock their property away out of reach of thieves after 16 bikes have been reported stolen in the town since the beginning of June.

Haverhill police urged people to take care of their bikes by locking them in sheds or garages, and making sure they have detailed description of the model and the frame number in case they do get stolen.

Of the 16 reported stolen, 12 were taken from front or rear gardens.

With one of the prestigious cycle races, The Tour Of Britain due to come through Haverhill on September 17, police are hoping the next few weeks will be a good time to raise cycle awareness.

Advice on beating bike thieves is available from police and they hope to run some sessions around the free marking of bicycles, so they can be identified and recovered more easily.
