Police are appealing for information after 3 bicycles were stolen from Halletts Shute in Yarmouth earlier this week.
According to Hampshire Constabulary a Black Trekk, a White Scott and a Black Carerra Falcon were taken from the area on Tuesday and into Wednesday.
The incident comes just days after a £2,000 bike was stolen from outside a shop in Bembridge, as previously reported by Island Echo.
It is also reported that a bike was stolen from Arctic Road, Cowes last night (Thursday) after the lock was cut.
Mark Lee Managing Director at Lifeline Alarm Systems Ltd, says:
“Both Personal and Business security is scoring high on most people’s agenda now. We have to accept that the world is a changing place and that includes the island. We encourage everyone to take security seriously, deter, detect and intervene is our mantra.
• Deter – by making the property unattractive to crime, this might include all sorts of measures, some even at little or no cost
• Detect – if the deterrent is ignored, the detection methods should alert and create uncomfortable environments for intruders
• Intervention – all the detection in the world is useless unless it is acted upon. That could mean alerting consumers, security companies, monitoring stations and the police. Lifeline specialise in this aspect of security”
Anyone who saw the incident taking place or has information as to the whereabouts of the stolen bikes are asked to contact Police on 101, quoting 44170145141.
