Warning issued amid motorbike theft rise in Wrexham

Police are appealing for information after a rise in motorbike thefts across Wrexham.

Seven bikes have been reported as stolen this month alone – with reports of eight stolen in May.

North Wales Police say that ongoing investigations led to the arrest of a 20-year-old man on Saturday, June 22, on suspicion of the theft of a motorbike.

He has since been released on bail pending further investigation.

Detective Sergeant Jenna Hughes said: “If you see anybody acting suspiciously in your area, or you have information that might assist with our investigation, please report it to us at the earliest opportunity, either by calling us on 101, or through our live chat on the website.

“I would also urge people to consider using multiple security measures on their bikes to make it harder and less attractive for thieves.”
