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.
