Preliminary investigations revealed that on 10 June 2026 at about 2.30am, the five men had spotted the unattended motorcycle. After a while, they managed to push start the motorcycle and one of them rode it away for a joyride. The stolen motorcycle was subsequently recovered.

Police investigations are ongoing against the 24-year-old man for an additional offence of riding the motorcycle without a valid driving licence.

The Police would like to advise all motor vehicle owners to adopt the following crime prevention measures:

• Park your motorcycle in well-lit areas;
• Install an anti-theft alarm for your motorcycle;
• Use additional locking devices such as disc brake locks or install a suspension guard;
• Use a motorcycle canvas to cover the motorcycle, securing both ends;
• Remove the ignition key and lock the motorcycle, whenever it is left unattended; and
• Do not leave spare keys or transponders inside any storage compartments of the motorcycle.
