BICYCLE SECURITY
6/26/2013
DPS reports that several bicycle thefts have occurred on campus in recent weeks. Although the stolen bicycles were secured to bike racks with cable locks, the locks were easily cut. To help reduce bicycle thefts, owners are advised to properly utilize a Ubolt type lock (as seen below) to secure their bicycle frames directly to a bike rack. These U-bolt locks are available at the Syracuse University Bookstore in the Schine Student Center at a 25 percent discount for students, faculty and staff. To register your bike and receive your discount coupon, contact Detective C.J. McCurty at cmccurty@syr.edu or 315-480-5467.
If anyone has any information regarding these incidents or others, please contact the Syracuse Police Department at (315) 442-5222 or the Syracuse University Department of Public Safety at (315) 443-2224.
