Police are reminding the public to double lock their bikes and register the frame number on a national bike registration database approved by Secured by Design.
The frame number is usually found underneath the bike between the pedals or where the back wheel slots in.
If a bike is stolen and later recovered, police can use the frame number to trace it back to its owner.
