Greetings,

My name is Glenn McFarlane and I am a Crime Prevention Officer with Victoria Police in Melbourne.

I have been designated by my divisional management command to raise awareness of an increase in motorcycle thefts in Melbourne. These thefts are occurring on the street, in residential apartment car parks, business building car parks and commercial car parks.

A common trend is for offenders to use a van or a sedan with a trailer attached. The offenders drive up to the motorcycle, lift it up, put it in the van or trailer and drive off negating most common security measures. In conjunction with the National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council, we have updated the content of their motorcycle theft reduction brochure titled ‘Wish You’d Secured Your Motorcycle’ (which is accessible on at ‘ www.protectyourbike.com.au ‘).

We request that you disseminate this information and the above brochure with the motorcycle safety tips and theft facts to your members.
