We are urging cycle owners to make cycle security and registration their New Year’s resolution.

Bikes are always popular presents - from that memorable first bike to the latest top-spec machine for an enthusiastic amateur.

We are urging people to get any new gifts they have bought or receive over Christmas registered free with the property logging website www.Immobilise.com. 

Doing so will mean your valuables are more likely to be returned if lost or stolen, as well as potentially catching a criminal in possession of stolen goods.

The watch, necklace and bangle, pictured below, were among the items stolen during a break-in at a house in Scunthorpe’s Thornton Avenue, between 4pm on Friday, August 7 and 1.30pm on Sunday, August 9.
