ŠOFFICERS from the Chester Neighbourhood Policing Team are taking action after a number of cycle thefts at the city’s railway station. Sergeant Sean Morgan said: “There has been a recent increase in the number of thefts at the station, but we are determined to limit further opportunities for criminals.” To tackle the issue, the NPT is set to host a day of action tomorrow (Tuesday, September 21) to give cyclists free crime-busting advice. Sgt Morgan added: “Our officers will be out and about from 8-10am and 4-6pm to pass on advice to cyclists using the rail network. “We will also have a crime reduction advisor on hand to mark frames. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT “By putting the owner’s postcode on a bike we can ensure that, should it ever be stolen, it will be far easier to return to the rightful owner. “As well as marking their bikes, cyclists should look seriously at the security measures they employ when leaving their bikes unattended. “Always use a good quality lock that will be difficult for thieves to either pick or cut through. “Make sure you lock your bike to a solid structure, securing the frame and wheels using separate devices.”
