Inner West police are advising motorcycle owners and riders that within the last week a number of road and trail bikes have been the target of thieves in the following Inner West suburbs:
Ashgrove;
Everton Hills; and
Arana Hills
At the time of being stolen, the targeted motorcycles were either parked in a residential garage or driveway.
The modus operandi of these thieves have been to either break and enter into an address or simply enter it through an unlocked access point, locate the keys to the motorcycle and either ride or push the motorcycle away from the occurrence address.
Inner West police would like to remind owners and riders to be vigilant with their motorcycle’s security and recommended the following security tips to protect their pride and joy:
Record the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and engine number, particularly if the motorcycle is unregistered or for off-road/road racing;
Ensure that access points at residential addresses (including garages) are
