Arrests Over Eastfield Motorbike Thefts

Friday, 31 January 2025 12:37

Police say they have made three arrests after a spate of motorbike and moped thefts in the Eastfield area.

Filey and Eastfield Police say that Neighbourhood PC Zac Waterman recovered a stolen motorcycle from the stream at The Dell yesterday morning. (30/01) He was able to identify the owner and began an investigation.

In recent months, as in other local areas, Eastfield has had several thefts of two-wheeled vehicles.

Officers from Eastfield and Filey’s Neighbourhood Policing and Response teams have been carrying out proactive high visibility and unmarked patrols to prevent and detect criminal behaviour.

Officers say:

"In relation to recent thefts, we arrested three boys aged 13 – 14, who are currently released on bail with a curfew as the investigations progress.

We are appealing to our local community; If you know anything which could assist with our investigations, please get in touch.

You can email zac.waterman@northyorkshire.police.uk or you can call 101, selecting option 2 and asking for Zac Waterman.

Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111."

North Yorkshire Police have offered the following security advice for motorbike owners.

  • If you own a motorbike or a moped, try to chain your real wheel to an immovable object or ground anchor.
  • Try to keep the lock off the ground by wrapping any excess chain around the rear wheel and try to enclose the lock.
  • Consider using a garage or a large shed to store your vehicle.
  • Try to park in an area with good lighting and CCTV.
  • Consider fitting an alarm and a tracker– not only will it act as a deterrent to thieves, but it may also reduce your insurance premiums.
