Bikers beware! Motorbike theft figures rise
Stolen vehicle recovery (SVR) expert, TRACKER, says that motorbike owners should take greater steps to protect their vehicles.
Andy Barrs, Head of Police Liaison at TRACKER, explained: “The latest Police Recorded Crime statistics for England and Wales showed a 3% rise in ‘theft of vehicles’, for the year to June 2015, the first rise in two decades. This increase appears to be due to an increase in stolen scooters and motorcycles, which have become increasingly attractive to thieves and joy riders - particularly young offenders - as sophisticated security on cars acts as a deterrent.”
