Bike thefts continue to rack up in Victoria

Share

Bike thefts in Victoria have been a problem for years. However, this week at Victoria Buzz the issue hit close to home. Our staff writer had his bike stolen from right outside our offices.

But this morning, Victoria Police tweeted a bike theft story that blew ours right out of the water. A couple of honeymooners had their $11,000 bike stolen from the intersection of Johnson and Government.

The theft happened last night (see below).

Luckily, within minutes of the tweet, the bike was found!

And that’s just the second bike this morning.

Unfortunately, our writer still remains bike-less. And though his Kona Rove AL might not be worth over $10k, it’s priceless to him.

Also, he doesn’t have a car and his whining about BC Transit is already becoming unbearable.

Shortly after we tweeted, Rikki Ayers responded to our tweet stating she had two bikes stolen from Cook Street Village this week.

Please keep an eye out for these bikes!

 

Bike Registry

Many local police detachments now have a bike registry program and after registering your bike, you will provide a means to track down any lost/stolen bicycles.

If you live in Victoria or Esqumalt, make sure to register your bike with VicPD. West Shore RCMP residents can register their bike here.
