Theft of Quad Bikes Near Huntly

Police are appealing for information following the theft of a quad bike from a farm near Bridge of Marnoch, Huntly.

A Red Honda 350 quad bike with front and rear cargo grills was stolen from at 9.45pm on Tuesday 28 September 2021. Two males were observed making off from the scene towards Huntly.

Crime Reduction Officer PC Mike Urquhart said:

"I would urge those in our rural communities to always park quad bikes as close to your premises as possible, preferably out of sight from nearby roads and remember to always remove keys when not in use. Consider fitting wheel clamps and/or locking posts as well as an alarm. Mark or customise your property so it is easily identifiable. This can deter thieves and assist recovery if they are stolen. Consider tracking devices for high value vehicles and machinery and keep a record of all vehicles with photographs and serial numbers."

Anyone with information can contact police on 101 quoting reference PS-20210928-3672 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
