Secure your bike! Police offer free coding campaigns

Am Bleckwerk 8, 21354 Bleckede, Deutschland - The police in the Lüneburg, Lüchow-Dannenberg and Uelzen counties warn of rising bicycle and pedelec thefts and asks the citizens to better secure their vehicles. Despite a decline in theft in 2024, by 13 percent to 1,476 cases, high-quality bikes and e-scooters remain in great demand among criminals. The value of the captured thiefs amounts to almost 1.6 million euros.

To prevent thefts, the police recommend effective security measures such as robust castles and GPS trackers. In addition, important information such as the frame number in a bicycle pass, which is frequently exhibited when buying, is advisable to capture the frame number. The police offer free coding campaigns to clearly mark bicycles and thus prevent potential thieves. The next dates for coding are already scheduled for 2025 - an opportunity that cyclists should not miss.
