Increase in Reported Stolen Motorcycles & Auxiliary Cycles

Fri, 2014-03-07

The Bermuda Police Service has noticed a 50% increase since this time last year in the number of reported stolen motorcycles and auxiliary cycles and is seeking the public’s assistance to reverse this apparent trend.

Members of the public are reminded to lock their cycles using the handlebar lock as well as a supplementary lock before leaving them unattended and to report any suspicious persons or activity around parked cycles in their neighbourhoods, especially unknown individuals using trucks.

In addition, residents should be wary of unauthorised cycle part suppliers, as the source of their inventory may be suspect.

Detectives are encouraging anyone with relevant information regarding the whereabouts of suspected stolen motorcycles, auxiliary cycles or suspected stolen cycle parts to contact the main police telephone number 295-0011 at the earliest opportunity.
