Police have repeated warnings to bicycle owners following burglaries targeting high value bikes in the district.
Sergeant Julie Gray of Ilkley Neighbourhood Policing Team urged Ilkley residents to continue making sure their cycles are properly secured. She advised against using small, low value locks on the doors of sheds where bikes are stored, and suggested owners should be able to identify their bike in the event of it being stolen and recovered.
Sgt Gray said 17 break-ins at sheds, garages and other premises were reported in Ilkley last month.
