Five people have now been arrested as Lancaster and Morecambe police investigate a rise in thefts of motorbikes, mopeds and scooters.
All of the arrested people have been given bail conditions and curfews, said police, who believe there are "many more offenders that are still actively targeting biked and scooters".
They said the mopeds and scooters "seem to be a target for joy riding, whilst the motorbikes have generally been abandoned near to where they are taken from after the suspects have attempted to start them".
The stolen bikes generally have extensive damage to the electrics and the front cowling.
Police have issued advice on how to prevent your bike being stolen.
When leaving your vehicle at your home address please lock it in a garage or shed whenever possible. If this is not feasible, try to cover it with motion detection CCTV. Even when leaving it for short periods of time, ensure it is locked as securely as possible.
Security advice:
1) Use a disc lock on both discs. If you only have one, place it on the front disc. These should ideally have an alarm incorporated.
2) Set the immobiliser, alarm or tracker. Ideally all three.
3) Consider a small tracking device (from some phone manufacturers). These can prove a cost effective alternative but they do need to ping off other mobile devices so aren’t always as effective in rural areas.
4) Invest in motion detection home CCTV and a well light outside area.
Please report any suspicious activity and pass this information on to any family or friends that may find it useful.
