Stop motorcycle and powered two wheeler thieves.
Be more forceful at retrieving stolen motorcycles. Give longer and more harsh sentences, and deter the young thugs from committing these crimes.
Although there has been a recent decrease in motorbike crime. People’s prized possessions are still being taken from them by these delinquents. Modes of transport to allow people to run their everyday lives vanished to be destroyed by gangs of criminals. There are on average 63 PTW (Powered Two Wheeler) stolen a day across the UK according to the police national computer. Between June 2022 and May 2023, there were 18,361 motorcycles registered as stolen to the DVLA by police. How will you stop this?
