Chatham-Kent police are investigating the theft of a bike in Wallaceburg. 

Sometime over the last 3 weeks, someone made off with a black Kona Dew bicycle from an unlocked garage on Turnbull Avenue. 

That has prompted CK police to remind residents about the 9 pm rules designed to foil crimes of opportunity. 

Every night at 9 pm, complete this checklist:

– Remove valuables and garage door opener from vehicles.
– Lock vehicles.
– Close overhead garage door.
– Lock door between garage and house
– Close and lock all external doors.
– Ensure windows are closed and locked.
– Turn on an exterior light.

If you have any information on the bicycle theft you are asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
