PCSO Heidi Andrew from the team said: “Bike marking is important, as it acts as a deterrent to would-be thieves. It also makes it easier for the bike to be found, returned to its rightful owner and helps to secure a successful prosecution against thieves."
Anyone attending to have their cycle marked should bring with them some form of identification.
