Surrey Police are taking over an empty retail unit next Saturday and Sunday the 19th & 20th January to try and reunite owners with bicycles that are believed to have been stolen in north Surrey and borders. If your bike has been lost or stolen you are invited to come along and see if your bike is among the 50 on display. The retail unit is situated in at the bus station end of the Elmsleigh Centre in Staines-Upon-Thames and will be manned by the police from 10am to 4pm each day.
Detective Constable Paul Rennison said: "We have reviewed crimes in north Surrey and just over the border in the Thames Valley and Metropolitan Police areas but have been unable to link these bicycles to any burglaries or thefts. I would urge anyone whose bike has been lost or stolen to come along and check whether theirs is among those on display.
Anyone coming along on the day is asked to bring any documentation they have about their bicycle and any police crime reference numbers they have if it has been reported as stolen property.
If you are unable to attend on either of these days but have had a bike stolen which you have not reported to the police, then please call 101 to report the theft with a detailed description of the bicycle, including a serial number if possible."
