This week there have been some motorcycle thefts. No specific known connection, but there is also a Fall Bike Week occurring in the Myrtle beach area. Occasionally we suffer thefts of motorcycles coincidentally timed with these events. Please advise your residents or neighbors to take a few extra steps to protect their motorcycles (enclosed storage, heavier chains, blocking in with other vehicles, alarms or “kill-switches” etc.). As always, call 911 if you see suspicious activity, particularly in this case, unfamiliar people, trucks or vans near where motorcycles park.

Thank you.
