Concerns were raised after a valuable motorbike was stolen
Worried residents in a quiet Nottinghamshire village have spoken of their fears after a motorbike was stolen. Following the theft of his £12,000 motorbike in St Wilfrid's Square, Calverton, Triston Williams claimed the area "may not be so safe after all."
While speaking of his grief at the loss of his bike - which is yet to be found - Triston said "not enough is being done" to protect bikers. He added: "I really want to stress the fact that there aren’t any cameras in this popular but quiet shopping/parking area in Calverton, which serves the community and surrounding areas.
"If they’ll take a powerful Ducati and get away with it, they’ll take anything and everything they can; cars, vans, scooters other motorcycles and sportbikes. The potential reward can’t outweigh the risk with these situations."Julie McGuirk, 57, said: "It doesn't feel as safe as it used to. There could be more things in place to prevent crime from taking place.
Gareth Watts, 53, said: "It's always nice and quiet round here, I don't have too many complaints. You hear about the odd theft which is a bit worrying - it definitely seems to happen more than it used to. Gedling Borough Council has set up CCTV in Mansfield Lane, which monitors large parts of the shopping precinct in St Wilfrid's Square.
"The cameras are monitored by CCTV operators and our Neighbourhood Wardens patrol the village to help deal with anti-social behaviour.
