Motorcycle theft has escalated to new heights in Newcastle in recent months.

Newcastle SAPS urges residents not to park motorcycles where they can be seen from roads, fences or walls.

Motorcycles are easily removed and transported, and suspects often poison a victim’s pets to gain access to property identified to be stolen..

Residents are reminded to keep gates locked at all times. Adhering to simple safety measures will help minimise motorcycle theft.
