Winfield police warn of bicycle theft

Winfield police say bicycle theft is oftentimes a crime of opportunity. The best way to prevent bicycle theft is to secure them with a lock, or to store them inside away from sticky fingers. We offer a bicycle registry program in which Winfield residents can register their bikes with our department, helping officers to reunite owners with their property in the event the stolen bicycle is found abandoned.
