Protect your bike

Police Scotland have teamed up with security firm Selectamark Security Systems to help tackle bike thefts in Renfrewshire as part of the Pedal Protect campaign.

The initiative aims to reduce a national rise in bike thefts throughout Scotland by providing people with a range of crime prevention and security advice.

Superintendent Matt Paden, Police Scotland’s Acquisitive Crime Lead, said: “We are confident this latest partnership will be equally beneficial, not only to our investigative approaches, but to deterring and preventing bike crimes taking place in the first instance.

“I’d encourage all members of the cycling community to visit www. bikeregister. com for more information on the BikeRegister or to request your own personal membership kit.”
