Bicycle Thefts on the Rise

Now that the warm weather appears to be here for good, many people are out and about on their bicycles. However, there's also been a corresponding increase in bicycle thefts in the Sully District, local police say. 

Police suggest that you use two locks and never leave a bicycle unattended (even in your own yard). Away from home, always park in a location visible to people passing by. If you own a bicycle with quick-release wheels, lock both the frame and the wheel. Also record the serial number and keep it in a safe place, police suggest. 

Here's a look at some of the recent larcenies in the Sully District:

• Auto Park Circle: Dealer license plate stolen from vehicle
• Flagler Drive: Tools stolen from vehicle
• Haymarket Lane: Jewelry stolen from residence
• Stone Road: Cash stolen from business
• Stonecroft Center Court: Auto part stolen from business
• Water Pond Court: Cigarettes and tools stolen from vehicle
