Our city centre neighbourhood team are holding a bike marking event at Peterborough Train Station bike racks between 4pm and 6pm on Friday (22 March).
A tamper proof sticker will be put on the bike, acting as a visual deterrent to thieves. Getting your bike marked is important because if the bike is stolen and then recovered by us, the chances of it being reunited with you is higher as it will be registered to the national cycle database.
This initiative is being funded by the ‘Safer Communities Fund’, set up last year by the Police and Crime Commissioner, which aims to help agencies deal with local issues of crime and disorder (e.g. anti-social behaviour, road safety, and bike theft).
All you have to do is meet our officers with your bike! It is a completely free event, only costing you a few minutes of your time.
Can’t make it this week? We will be doing these events regularly throughout the year, so look out on our social medias for future events.
More information on bike marking can be found on the Bike Register website.
We hope to see you there!
Kind regards,
