Local Priorities Cycle Theft

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding cycle theft, which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

This morning Officers from Kingston Town Centre Safer Neighbourhoods Team attended the Kingston Cycling Campaign event in Fairfield Park, KT1. Officers were able to mark a large number of participant’s bikes, making them identifiable if stolen or lost and recovered. Each bike was marked with a uniquely coded sticker linked to our Met Police database, enabling us to access the owner’s details and arrange a safe return.

We would like to thank the event hosts who invited us to assist this morning and hope all participant cyclists enjoyed their bike ride in the sun!

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk/, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.
