Burnham-On-Sea police to hold free security marking session

Cyclists can have their bikes security marked and pick up safety tips when Highbridge police hold a special bike marking event later this week.

A police surgery will be held on Wednesday (December 16th) from 2.30pm - 4pm at the Police Pod in the Asda car park.

PCSOs Claire Chambers and Gill Bawler will be handing out crime reduction advice, marking property and discussing crime concerns.

Due to bike thefts still being an issue in the Highbridge area, police are also inviting cyclists to bring along their bikes to be security marked.

PCSO Chambers told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "There are two ways we can mark them. The first being a free UV marking, which adds the owner’s postcode in a number of locations using an invisible marker; the second is using a permanent marking system and ownership database. Police are offering the service at a discounted rate of £4 per pedal cycle (normally retailed at £10.95)."
