Police in Barrow are advising owners of moped and small motorcycles to take simple crime prevention measures after a black Honda XR 125cc motorcycle was stolen on Sunday.
The vehicle was stolen between 1.15am and 5.45am on the morning of Sunday 30 January 2011 from Church Street, Barrow.
Sergeant Ian McClymont said: “In recent years we have seen a rise in moped thefts around this time of year, and this is a timely reminder to owners to take measures that will prevent thieves from stealing their property.
“I’d urge anyone with any information about the theft or the whereabouts of the stolen bike to contact Barrow police immediately on 0845 33 00 247. Owners should consider locking their vehicles or alternatively take them off the road to put them in secure storage such as a locked garage or shed.
