I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Vehicle Crime - Theft of a vehicle, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey. 🚨 Community Alert – Motorbike Security 🚨
We’ve seen an increase in attempted thefts of motorbikes overnight in the Braunstone Town and Thorpe Astley areas. Offenders are actively targeting motorbikes left insecure or with minimal protection. We want to make owners aware so they can do all they can to protect their motorbikes.
✅ Top Tips to Protect Your Motorbike
🔒 Lock it up properly – Use a strong lock and a heavy-duty chain secured to an immovable object where possible.
🏠 Store securely – Keep your bike in a locked garage or well-lit area. If you have CCTV or a doorbell camera, make sure it’s working.
🔑 Use more than one lock – Layering security makes your bike less attractive to thieves.
💡 Park smart – Choose busy, well-lit locations overlooked by properties or CCTV.
📡 Consider a tracker – A GPS tracker can help locate your bike if it’s taken.
🚫 Don’t leave keys nearby – Keep keys away from doors/windows and out of sight.
👀 Be Vigilant - If you notice anyone acting suspiciously around parked vehicles or attempting to interfere with motorbikes, please report it.
📞 Call 999 if a crime is in progress
📲 Report non-emergencies via 101 or online
