Thieves allegedly using devious new trick to 'mark' bikes in Dublin

Cunning thieves have been allegedly using a devious new trick to "mark" bicycles in Dublin.

Vanessa Greene, who works in the city centre, has warned cyclists to be cautious while locking up their two-wheelers. Vanessa told Dublin Live how she found an unlocked bike next to hers on Dean Street on Thursday.

She said: "Typically what they do is they leave a reasonably-priced bike left beside your bike to mark it up. Then someone comes along and takes the cheaper bike away with them but they’ve also some tools with them to take parts off yours."
