What is the longest amount of time you can leave your bike unattended in Dunedin?<\/p>\n
The answer for one unlucky cyclist was 13 seconds.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday morning a 31-year-old man rode a bike into the Dunedin Central Police just in time to be arrested for breaching his bail conditions, Constable Eli Stafford-Rogers, of Dunedin, said.<\/p>\n
Further investigations revealed the man was the suspect of stealing a bicycle and theft from a local Dunedin business.<\/p>\n
Officers noted the bike he rode in on, and recognised it as the bike that had been stolen from the Dunedin Bus Hub.<\/p>\n
The man was caught on CCTV walking up to the unsecured bike exactly 13 seconds after the owner turned their back.<\/p>\n
He then took off on the bike.<\/p>\n
“It may not be an official record, but it’s certainly one of the quickest bicycle thefts I’ve seen,” Const Stafford-Rogers said.<\/p>\n
He said it was a timely reminder people should keep in mind keeping your bike unsecured and unattended even for a matter of seconds was a risk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What is the longest amount of time you can leave your bike unattended in Dunedin?
