Police in Lancaster are warning motorcyclists to keep their bike secure after recovering one stolen from the city centre.
The theft happened on Monday (July 14), after a Blue Yamaha motorcycle was found in Quay Meadow that was stolen from the city centre. On this occasion the Police found the bike before the owner even realised it was taken.
A spokesperson for Lancaster Area Police said: ‘’As well as bicycle and electric bike thefts, motorcycle thefts have become quite prevalent in Lancaster in recent times.
‘’We have been doing all we can to detect and deter these crimes and will continue to do so, but I’m sure everyone will agree that prevention is better than response.
‘’If you own bikes, e-bikes or motorcycles, please be extra vigilant and keep them locked inside your house or locked and secured in sheds or garages.
''As a motorcycle owner, you need to make smart decisions about preventing your pride and joy from being stolen. Choosing additional layers of security, such as GPS trackers, locks, chains, alarms, and bike covers is always a good idea, you should not rely solely on built-in security systems.
‘’The harder you make it for the thieves to steal your bike, the safer your motorcycle will be. Even at home you should lock it as you would if you left it in a public place.’’
