TERRACE — Since the
first bicycle was marked
in Terrace this year the
Bicycle Theft project by
local RCMP is being
considered a success.

The project was
started by the Terrace
RCMP’s Crime Preven-
tion Unit with the idea of
reducing the number of
bicycle thefts in Terrace
(over $100,000 in the
past two years) and help
in the return of stolen or
lost bikes, said RCMP
Constable Ewen Harvie.

The project was man-
ned by RCMP regular
members, RCMP Auzxili-
ary Constables, Terrace
Fire Department regular
members and volunteer
firemen, along with per-
sons from the Probation
Services Diversion pro-
ject and some local
citizens.

A total of 39 people
assisted in the marking.
Every school in Terrace
and area participated
with a total of 1267 bikes
being marked. Three
bicycles that had
previously gone missing
were recovered, and
returned to their owners
just through the routine
marking of the bikes at
the schools. Response
from the public has been
good and, to date, 16

. bikes have been returned

to owners after being
recovered and found to
have been marked this
year.

A total of 548 man
hours were spent on the
marking/engraving of
the bikes. A further 14
hours were spent on do-
ing bike safety and
security lectures at the
local schools.

In previous years
bicycles have been mark-
ed at the Terrace RCMP
offices. As of June 4 the
Terrace Fire Department
and personnel will be
taking on the job, Harvie
said. The Fire Depart-
ment will mark the
bicycles at their offices at
no cost to the owner.
Posters will be placed at
local businesses en-
couraging purchasers of
new bikes and people
who haven’t had their
bikes marked to bring

them down for registra-

tion.

This project received
support in the way of
funds and/or goods
from the City of Terrace,
Sundance Ski & Sports
Ltd., Totem Press and
Northern Signs & Screen
Prints. The ‘‘Stop the
Bike Thief” program is
truly a community pro-
ject as was shown by the
support received from
business and commun-
ity, said Harvie. The

project will be continued
in the future by atten-
ding schools on a yearly

Terrace Review — Wednesday, June 11, 1986 19°

Stop the bike thief
project to continue

basis to mark and iden-
tify any new bikes and to
continue giving bike
safety talks to all
students.

We remind adults and
youth alike to mark and
register their bikes

against theft or loss; it

works, said Harvie.

Statistics as- follows:
Stolen/Lost bikes Jan. 1
-May 31! in 1985 was 119
and in 1986 was 87 —
Returned Bikes Jan, 1
-May 31 in 1985 was 18
and in 1986 it was 26.

Pranksters sometimes get the better of news
photographers. Lieutenant Per Halvorsen of the Terrace
Fire Department (right) merrily displayed the Stop the Bike
Thief poster upside down as the photographer busily cap-
tured the event on film. RCMP constable Ewen Hanie (left)
blew Halvorsen’s cover and tet the photographer in on the
scheme. The poster was rearranged and Halvorsen smiled
brightly as Harvie officially turned part of the bike marking
process over to representatives at the Terrace Fire Depart-
ment. Local residents can now get their bicycles marked, to
help prevent thefts, at the local fire station.
