City of Bradenton Police Department Reminders
Posted on May 9th, 2023
 
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.
Report Suspicious Activity to the Police
Posted on May 9th, 2023
 
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.
