Officers from the South Yarmouth Safer Neighbourhood team have issued the warning after thieves stole a bicycle from the garden of a property off Alma Road between 5.55pm and 6.05pm on Wednesday.
The owner had left the black x-rated cycle unattended for around 10 minutes. A black padlock was fastened around the seat of cycle.
On February 20, between 8.45am and 9.15am, a ladies purple/pink coloured cycle was stolen from Blackfriars Road in Great Yarmouth. Again the cycle had been left insecure.
