**** HRP Media Release
Police continue to recover stolen bicycles
Halifax Regional Police continue to recover bicycles and scooters believed to have been stolen throughout the region. In some instances, stolen property is recovered during an investigation and other times, found property is turned over to us through the kindness of the public.
If your bike was recently lost or stolen, and you would like to see if it’s been recovered by police, HRP’s Lost & Found Property can be reached at 902-490-5232.
Some bicycles that we currently have – and would be very happy to reunite with their owners – include two children’s bicycles and helmets. If you believe these bicycles may be yours, please contact us. You will be asked to provide some form of proof of ownership before property can be turned over to you.
It is good practice to keep your bike locked up, in a well-lit and well-travelled area. Take a photo of your bike and record its serial number as this will assist in identifying it if it becomes lost or stolen. Cyclists can also register for the free 529 Garage program, which can help reunite owners with recovered bicycles.
HRP encourages people to report their bikes stolen to police as soon as possible with as much information as possible, including the serial number, make, model, speed, colour, and any distinguishing markings. File a police report online or by calling 902-490-5016.
