A message from our local Police Department

Protect your bike against theft  

Wangaratta Police would like to remind bicycle owners of an increase in the thefts of bikes in the Wangaratta area recently, especially high quality mountain bikes. 

Bikes are stolen from garages, back yards, front yards, porches, railway stations, parks, schools – basically anywhere. LOOK AFTER YOUR BIKE.    Listed are some simple steps to protect your bike from being stolen.

• Always lock up your bike and keep it out of sight in the garage or shed.
• Don’t leave it unlocked outside shops. Lock it to bike racks or a fixed object.
• Reduce temptation. Remove accessories from the bike such as lights, pumps and bike computers.
• Always secure your bike by placing a chain through the front wheel and frame or if possible through both wheels and then around a fixed object.
• Always use a quality hardened chain and padlock or a purpose built bike lock.
• Always secure your bike when on holidays particularly when at caravan parks, camping locations or other holiday destinations.
• Engrave your bike with your parent’s driver’s licence preceded by the letter “V” to enable police to return it to you if recovered.
• Record a good description of your bike including Serial numbers, colour, size, brand, type etc and provide it to police if your bike is stolen.

Majority of bikes stolen were left unsecured at home in sight of pedestrian traffic or in public areas, shops and fast food outlets.
