Air Tag leads to stolen bikes and e-scooters

Stolen bikes and e-scooters recovered by police in Ngunnawal.

TWENTY-ONE stolen e-bikes and electric scooters have been recovered following the search of a home in Ngunnawal on Thursday. 

In December 2022, an e-bike that had an Apple Air-Tag fixed to it was stolen.

Earlier this month, the Air-Tag transmitted its location to the owner and police sought a search warrant for a home in Ngunnawal and located the stolen e-bike as well as other items believed to be stolen.

In total six e-bikes, 15 electric scooters, a car trailer and number plates were recovered during the warrant. The estimated value of the recovered goods is more than $30,000.

Police say serial numbers and images of the items are useful to provide to police and insurers if an item is stolen.

Bike and scooter owners should also register the details of their item at Bikelinc . This allows the quick return of items if recovered by police. It also makes it difficult for stolen items to be on-sold, with prospective buyers able to check if an item has been reported stolen.

If you believe you are the owner of any of the items recovered (that have not already been reported to police) and can provide proof of ownership, call 131 444.
