The Bradenton police would like all members of the Village Green community to be vigilant about securing bicycles. There have been a few reports lately about stolen bikes. When left unlocked and in plain sight, even good kids feeling mischievous can be tempted on a dare to take a bike. 

 

The police advise that everyone who owns a bicycle take the time to write down the serial numbers and keep them in a safe place. A stolen bike can be traced through that number if it turns up at a bike shop even if that shop ends up being in a different state. But the best course of action is to lock up bikes because these are not professionals in our neck of the woods, they are opportunists. If you have a garage for storage, that's even better.

 

Report thefts, or any other suspicious activity you might witness, by calling the non-emergency number: 941-932-9300.

 

Call the non-emergency number 941-932-9300 to report any suspicious activity in our Village Green neighborhood. Most of what has been reported is petty crime perpetrated by juveniles. Lock your cars at night; absolutely NEVER leave firearms in your cars; and lock up bikes.
