POLICE are urging bike owners in Burnley to get their property marked.

A crime prevention spokesman said: “Our advice is never to leave your bike unattended unless it is securely locked to an immovable object and, first and foremost, to get your bike security marked.

“That means it is less attractive to thieves and, if you are unlucky enough to have it stolen, there is a greater chance of us finding it and getting it back to you.”

To get your bike marked speak to a bike shop or your local neighbourhood police.
