An event to help protect bicycles from theft has been held in Great Yarmouth.

More than 30 bikes were marked and registered with the national bike register on Saturday, January 6 at the town's new market place.

The event was organised by Great Yarmouth police and is aimed at improving crime prevention and supporting sustainable travel.

Being registered and marked can make people's bikes less attractive to thieves, as well as increasing their chances of being recovered if stolen.

In August police held a similar event in the town's St George's Park, which also saw about 30 bikes marked and registered.
