Hospital Worker’s E-Bike Recovered After Being Stolen From Bike Shed

Avrina Cox works at the hospital. She uses her bike to get to work. On February 6, her bike was gone. Thieves cut her lock in the bike shed. The hospital had just built the secure sheds.

Avrina has worked there for almost two years. She sees more bike thefts happening now. She bought her e-bike for £1,000 two years ago. Someone saw the thieves after the theft.

That person got back two bikes, including hers. They returned the bikes to the hospital. Avrina worries about her bike’s safety now. She cycles, but now she feels scared. Her bike might be stolen again.

The hospital wants staff to bike to work. But it isn’t keeping bikes safe. Other staff feel unsafe biking to work. They also worry about bike thefts. It’s sad to finish work and find your bike gone.

Avrina feels lucky she got her bike back. She could not buy another one. The theft makes people want better security. Staff need to know their bikes are safe. They rely on bikes for transportation.

The hospital is working on security for staff. Richard Renaut is a chief officer there. He says it’s upsetting when crimes happen. They feel sorry for staff affected by crime.

They are helping the police with their investigation. The hospital plans to add more security. They will increase security patrols on hospital grounds. Police cadets will offer free bike tagging.
