Bike Marking

Agreed on 27 April 2021. Updated on 29 September 2021

The Covid pandemic has seen a huge increase in bike ownership, we want to help make sure you are equipped in the best way possible to prevent and deter bike thieves by offering the free bike marking service in the coming months.

The pandemic restrictions have meant we have not been able to get out and about marking bikes as frequently as we would have liked over the last year. With restrictions easing were starting to plan ahead by scheduling in some marking events where we can also give you advice on the best way to secure your bike.

If you would like to attend one of these events we have the following dates scheduled in:

Tuesday 27th July – Coniston Green – 12 – 2pm
Wednesday 4th August – Uphill Boat Yard – 10 – 2pm
Monday 16th August – Coniston Green – 12 – 2pm

You can always contact us via our beat page if you are unable to make these events and would like to arrange another suitable time for us to visit you and mark your bike.

The Weston Uphill Policing team continue to offer bike marking for people who need it. We believe it is a great opportunity as it deters thieves from stealing your bike and helps the police identify owners of bikes after we find them.

Keep an eye on our social media for our next event or ask one of our local PCSO’s in person when they’re on patrol.
