Last Wednesday, officers found 27 bikes worth about $45,000 from storage lockers on East Pender Street.
Addison said while some of the bikes had already been reported stolen and will be quickly returned to their owners, other bikes had not been reported.
“Even without a serial number, VPD staff can often track down rightful owners by using unique descriptors and features on a bike, so we encourage anyone who has not yet reported their stolen bike to file a police report,” said Addison. He urged cyclists to safeguard against theft by using a durable lock, recording the serial number, and registering your bike with Project 529.
Bike thefts can be reported online at vpd.ca, or by calling VPD’s non-emergency line at [email protected]
