Stolen bikes and scooters recovered

ACT Policing has recovered 15 bikes and e-bikes and five e-scooters following a search warrant at a serviced apartment last night.

Yesterday (Wednesday, 9 July 2025) a man used an AirTag to track his e-bike (that had been stolen earlier that day) to a serviced apartment business in the City.

Police attended and spoke with the occupant of the apartment before securing a search warrant.

The subsequent search saw officers from the Territory Targeting Team locate 15 bikes and e-bikes and five e-scooters in the apartment as well as tools and other bike parts. The estimated value of the goods recovered is approximately $50,000.

A 25-year-old man, who is on bail for other alleged offences, will be charged in relation to this matter when he next appears in court later this month.

ACT Policing continues to remind Canberrans to register their bikes and e-bikes on BikeLinc - a free service that allows owners to record their bike and contact details. Should a bike be lost or stolen, that incident can also be recorded on the BikeLinc system. Police use BikeLinc to identify owners when bikes are recovered and second-hand bike buyers can also check to make sure the bike they are buying hasn’t been reported stolen.
