E-bike thieves strike in Schwanau and shortly-indications urgently needed!

In the communities of Schwanau, Nonnenweier and Allmannsweier, there are currently worrying news: In September this year, several high-quality e-bikes were stolen in these regions. The criminal officers inform that a group of young men was spotted near the affected places at the time of the crime.

Important information on bicycle protection

The police not only take measures to find the perpetrators, but also give important practical tips on how citizens can better protect their bikes. One of the essential recommendations is to always complete all parking spaces for bicycles, even if they are only used for a short time. This applies in particular to garages and other more accessible storage locations.

In addition, the police recommend the use of surveillance cameras to increase the likelihood of being able to identify future suspects. The use of robust locks made of high -quality material is also advisable to reduce the risk of theft. Here you should pay attention to tested quality. It is recommended to always complete bicycles in such a way that both the frame and the wheels are attached to solid objects. Taking away or additional securing of valuable accessories of an electric bike, such as the battery or the display, is also advertised.

It is also particularly important to document the frame number and the brand and the type of bicycle in a so -called bicycle pass. This can be done by a digital app that is available free of charge.

The police encourage citizens to be careful towards strangers in residential complexes or on neighboring properties. The police should be informed immediately in the event of any suspicious observations.
