Newark Neighbourhood Policing Team to hold bike marking event in Fernwood

A free bike marking event will be held in Fernwood tomorrow.

From 11am to 3pm on Monday, May 2, a free bike marking event will be held at Fernwood park by Newark Neighbourhood Policing Team.

Bike marking aims to reduce cycle theft, identify stolen bikes and assist in owner recovery.

Marking consists of taking the frame number from the cycle and marking the bike with a unique reference number with a chemical compound and applying a semi-tamperproof sticker. All information is recorded and logged on a secure database.
