My Community Voice Kent - Bike Thefts
31st October 2023

We continue to suffer from bike thefts, both pedal cycle and motorcycle/mopeds.
Remember to apply the same rules at home as
you do when out and about.
Thieves will take an opportunity if they see one,
no matter where it is. • Store your bike in a garage or shed that is
kept securely locked.
• No garage/shed? Take your bike inside or
secure it in exactly the same way as you would
away from home; remove valuable parts and
lock the entire bike to a immovable object.
• Consider installing security lighting around
your property to help deter thieves, and
restrict access by keeping boundaries secure
and gates locked.
• Encourage neighbours to be vigilant and to
report any suspicious activity to the police.
