🚨 SMART ALERT - QUAD BIKE THEFTS 🚨

Staffordshire Police are aware of a recent quad bike theft in the Great Haywood area. Unfortunately, thefts of quad bikes and other agricultural vehicles are continuing to rise across rural communities.

Quad bikes are highly desirable to criminals due to their value, ease of transportation, and the difficulty in tracing stolen machines. 🚜

✅ Help protect your quad bike by: 🔒 Storing it in a secure, locked building whenever possible. 🔑 Removing keys and never leaving them in the ignition. 📍 Fitting a GPS tracker and immobiliser. 📸 Recording serial numbers, chassis numbers, and taking photographs of the vehicle. 🔐 Using ground anchors, chains, and robust security locks. 💡 Installing security lighting and CCTV around storage locations. 🏷️ Considering forensic marking products such as SelectaDNA or CESAR registration.

👀 Be vigilant Report any suspicious vehicles, people, or activity in rural areas, particularly around farms, outbuildings, and isolated properties.

📞 If you witness a crime in progress, call 999 immediately. 📱 Report non-emergency information or suspicious activity via 101 or online through the Staffordshire Police website.

🤝 Let's work together to protect our rural communities and reduce opportunities for criminals.
