Motorcyclists have been warned to be on their guard after a rise in bike thefts across Lancaster and Morecambe.
Police said that mopeds and scooters were being targeted in particular and the vast majority of bikes stolen have been taken without keys.
Offenders are cutting locks and in some cases are suspected to have used other vehicles to remove the bike from the scene.
A police spokesperson said: "Please consider your security measures if you own a motorcycle and try where possible to park your bike out of sight in a shed/garage or yard, use a cover and fit an approved lock."
Please call 999 to report any suspicious activity.
