CYCLE THEFTS TOTAL 19 FOR ONE DAY CRM Cycle thefts total 19 for one day Police received reports of 19 stolen cycles in one day.

And yesterday Police spokesman P.c. Gary Venning urged cycle riders to secure their cycles everytime they leave them, "whether at home or whilst parked in town''.

"It is evident that some cycle riders still do not lock their cycles,'' he said. "Others use only handlebar locks while their secondary locks remain attached to the basket.

"In order to reduce the number of cycle thefts it is imperative that cycles are securely locked everytime they are left.'' P.c. Venning said parents can also help during the school summer break by ensuring that their children are properly supervised.
