Police have issued the following security advice for Quad bike owners:

• Take your keys out and with you
• Try to keep the vehicles out of sight from nearby roads and garaged as near to your property as you can
• Keep gates to yards closed, as open gates can be an open invitation to thieves. Lock barn or garage doors at night using a heavy-duty  padlock, hasp & staple or chain
• Use clamps and locks on the bike and secure it to a concrete floor
• Fit Immobilisation and Tracker Systems. The use of tracking systems can notify you the Quad/ATV is being interfered with or moved, allowing for a prompt response to either prevent the theft or detain offenders.
• Photograph your quad/ATV noting serial numbers and any unique identification points.
• Register your Quad/ATV with Data tag/CESAR
