Protect Your Bike

Don’t Let Thieves Ride Away With It!

We’ve seen a rise in motorbike and moped thefts in recent weeks, particularly targeting 125cc models. These smaller bikes are often easier for thieves to move quickly – especially if they’re not properly secured.

 Many of the thefts have occurred overnight and in residential areas, with some bikes taken directly from driveways or outside properties.

 Don’t make it easy for them – here’s how you can help protect your bike:

Use a disc lock on the front wheel

Chain your bike to a solid object or ground anchor

Park in well-lit, secure areas or ideally in a garage

Cover your bike to make it less visible and attractive

Remove valuables and avoid leaving helmets or accessories on display

Mark and register your bike with schemes like BikeRegister

 If you see suspicious activity around parked bikes or mopeds – especially late at night – please report it to us via 101 or online. In an emergency, always call 999.

Let’s work together to keep our roads and property safe.

Tag a biker to spread the word!
