A project launched by Victoria Police is reaping rewards -- or at least, bikes.
In the first 24 hours of the project, which began on Monday, 5 stolen bicycles were returned to their rightful owners and a number of suspected stolen bicycles were seized pending additional investigation.
The suspected stolen bikes recovered can beviewed on VicPd's Stolen Bicycle Avengers Facebook Page.
Officers believe that some bicycles have been recovered without their rightful owners knowing that they are missing. If you store your bicycle in a storage locker, officers are asking you to check on it.
VicPD launched a Bike Registry to help combat rising numbers of stolen bicycle reports and low returns of seized bicycles.
