Police Warn Sellers to Stay Sharp Online
All three stolen bikes have been recovered and returned to their owner. Wiltshire Police have issued a warning for online sellers, urging caution when sharing personal details. They said:
“Selling online is convenient, but potential buyers or people claiming to be interested in your items may not be as genuine as they initially seem.”
They urged residents to be extra vigilant, especially about disclosing addresses, after a string of thefts targeting sellers.
