Sussex Police have received a number of reports regarding thefts of bicycles in the Pevensey area recently, we would like to remain residents about these tips to protect their cycles
- Get a good bike lock
- Lock your bike to something secure, even if only for a few minutes and avoid isolated places – leave your bike where a potential thief can be seen
- Lock up removable parts (e.g. wheels) and take light fittings with you
- Have your bike’s frame security-marked or engraved
- Take a clear colour photograph of your bike and make a written record of its description, including any unique features
- At home, keep your bike in a secure garage or shed and keep the door locked
Sussex Police will be arranging a date for security marking bicycles in the Pevensey, date to be confirmed.
