Police must act as number of bike thefts continue to rise
Thieves are targeting small 125 and 250 bikes, which are easy to transport and resell.
Motorcycle thieves show no sign of letting up as another two bikes were stolen last weekend.
A source claimed the total number of bikes stolen so far this year to be 48, while in Vereeniging the total has risen to a shocking 120.
Thieves are targeting small 125 and 250 bikes, which are easy to transport and resell. A resident who chose to remain anonymous, and who owns bikes of this size, commented on the situation.
“I have spoken to police regarding the ongoing bike thefts,” he said.”It is clear that they are struggling to catch the guys responsible, but where will it end? It is only a matter of time before people start taking the law into their own hands.”
Captain Shooz Magudulela previously said he was unable to release statistics regarding ongoing investigations, but that certain police units in Newcastle were investigating the matter.
