Bicycle owners living in the Alvaston area are invited to bring their bike along for security marking at an event this weekend. Officers from the local Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team will be attending the Alvaston Park Community Event on Sunday, July 28 between 11am – 3pm to security mark bikes. PCSO Jarrod Hobson from the Alvaston team said:” There are several steps people can take to ensure their bikes are adequately marked and secured to help reduce the risk of becoming a victim of bike theft. “Whilst bike marking does not prevent a bike from being stolen, in the event that it is taken and it should be recovered, we can hopefully reunite the bicycle with its owner. “If a bike is adequately marked, it makes it much easier to identify and therefore reduces its desirability to thieves." “The best thing to remember is to register your bike and also to ensure two solid locks are used to secure both the frame and the wheels to where you want to leave it." The team will also be offering crime prevention advice on personal and home security. The Alvaston Community Park Event will consist of a range of activities including, music, football tournament, fancy dress football, martial arts, dancers, and a local band.
