POLICE have issued a fresh reminder for residents to keep their cycles secure.
It follows the theft of bikes from addresses in Ashlands Close and Bankhead Road, in Northallerton.
Among the bikes stolen were three children’s cycles, a girl’s pink BMX, a girl’s silver cycle with white tyres and beads hanging from the handlebars, and a child’s JCB bike with stabilizers and pedals on the front wheels.
Two adult mountain bikes, one black and one green, were also stolen from the second address.
The stolen bikes had been left in the front gardens of the houses.
PC Jim Egan, of the Northallerton Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “I ask that homeowners take a few minutes to ensure that pedal cycles are either securely locked or better still kept out of sight of potential thieves.”
