Criminals targeting bikes in Lincoln, police say

Criminals targeting bikes in Lincoln, police say
Police are urging Lincoln residents to consider improving their shed security after an increase in break-ins to steal bikes.
The warning comes after another incident in the city, when thieves broke into a shed in a garden in Dixon Street overnight on January 23 and stole a mountain bike.
Officers say there is an ongoing crime series across the city and criminals seem to be particularly focussing on the theft of bikes.
Residents are advised to consider keeping valuable bikes inside their homes, or to at least increase their shed security with better locks and shed alarms.
Police are appealing for anyone to report any suspicious activity in their roads as soon as possible.
Call Lincolnshire Police with information on 101, or call independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 0800 555 111 end_of_the_skype_highlighting.
