June 29, 2022 — Press release from the Halton Regional Police Service
The Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) will be hosting a bicycle registration event for members of the community on July 6, 2022.
Anyone who has returned to where they parked their bicycle, only to discover a cut lock, understands the frustration and impact of having their bicycle stolen. More often than police would like to see, when a bicycle is recovered, we are often unable to identify its owner.
That is where 529 Garage comes in. 529 Garage is a digital registration app that seeks to identify, recover and return stolen bicycles to their rightful owners. The HRPS launched a partnership with 529 Garage in 2021.
On Wednesday, July 6, from 9:00–11:00 a.m., members of the community are invited to attend the registration event located near the west end of Spencer Smith Park, in Burlington. During the event, the HRPS will be promoting the tool and helping cyclists register their bicycles.
