Wigan town centre neighbourhood policing team will be at Wigan bus station from 3pm to 8pm on Tuesday, November 18 to security mark and register bicycles.

A police spokesman said: “Security marking significantly reduces the likelihood of theft and increases the chances of police being able to identify and return a stolen cycle to its rightful owner should it unfortunately be taken.

“In addition, a limited number of free bike locks will be available for those looking to further enhance the security of their cycles.”
