Ammanford cyclists are being offered the chance to get their bikes security marked and logged on BikeRegister, the UK’s national cycle database, at no cost as part of a Dyfed-Powys Police bike-theft prevention drive.
At local events, officers will use specialist kits to give each cycle a unique ID and record key details on the police‑approved database, making it harder for thieves to sell on stolen bikes and easier for recovered property to be traced back to its owner.
The process usually involves applying a tamper‑resistant QR label or coded marking to the frame and checking the registration online, with the record then stored for life.
Residents in the Ammanford area can look out for advertised sessions with their Neighbourhood Policing Team or request a slot by going to the Dyfed‑Powys Police website, entering their postcode and using the “request a contact session in your neighbourhood” option to ask for bike marking.
Anyone who later buys a second‑hand bike can also use the BikeRegister website to check whether a frame is already listed as stolen, adding another layer of protection for local riders.
