Gardaí are using ‘bait bikes’ in an attempt to catch would-be thieves.

This follows an increase in the number of bicycles and motorbikes being stolen across the country.

In one operation, in North Dublin, Gardaí deployed a high-end valuable electric motorbike at various theft hot spots.

They kept the bike under surveillance – ready to swoop in if anyone attempted to rob it.

What do you think about this approach from Gardaí? Could it be part of a solution to tackle bike theft?
