Theft of Pedal Cycle

During this period there has been 11 reports of theft of pedal cycle. This is one higher from the previous period. We expected this figure would again be high due to the summer period and school children being off. As a team we have conducted uniformed patrols in the hotspots on the ward over various times. PCSO regularly conducts bike marketing events in the ward which are promoted on social media. The team conduct CCTV enquiries for all reports to identify offenders
