Action on Cycle Theft

An estimated 40,000 cycles are stolen in London every year. But only around 2% are ever recovered. We’re calling on the Metropolitan Police and London’s Mayor to take action to tackle cycle theft now.

For too long, too little effort has been made to get to grips with cycle theft, and as a result, more and more people are falling victim to a crime that sees the perpetrators act with near impunity.But it doesn’t have to be this way – LCC’s new report shows how other countries are doing far better at beating the thieves, as are other police forces.Please support LCC’s campaign calling for action to combat cycle theft, by signing our petition today.
