North East Division Crime Reduction Officer Constable Heather Nelson said:
"Consider a disc lock to help secure the front brake disc, or a grip lock to secure the
brake and throttle controls. You could also use a D lock on the front wheel to stop it being wheeled away.
"Thieves often steal a bike by breaking the steering lock and wheeling it away. Use a chain
lock through the back wheel (the front wheel can be removed). Secure your bike, with the
lock taut to an immovable object such as a ground anchor or street furniture. If this isn’t
possible, thread the chain through your bike frame and back wheel.
"Thieves often ‘shop’ for particular bike models. Using a cover instantly makes it less attractive to them and provides another obstacle.
"Unfortunately security measures can’t guarantee your bike won’t be stolen but, by using multiple security measures, you can make it harder and less attractive for thieves."
