Bicycle owners are being urged to be vigilant following a recent increase in bike thefts in Wisbech.
The warning comes after 27 bike thefts were reported in and around the town since 5 June.
Sergeant David Arnold, from the Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT), said:
“We encourage cycling in Cambridgeshire but sadly hundreds of bikes are stolen each year. With an increase in bike thefts throughout Wisbech over the past month, I would urge bike owners to take extra precautions and the general public to remain vigilant.
"We are working to find those responsible however there are measures owners can take to make it more difficult for thieves to steal their bike. This includes using two different locks, locking both wheels and the frame to a bike stand or another solid object and to fill the lock with as much of the bike as possible for ultimate security.”
