Halifax Neighbourhood Policing Team are organising the sessions on Tuesday (April 19) where people can bring their bikes to get registered and security marked with BikeRegister for free.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: "In the event that your bike is stolen, or someone attempts to steal it, by registering it and having it security marked, it will increase the chances of getting your bike back.
