## Resource

Electric bikes are skyrocketing in theft across New South Wales, with a 27% surge in just two years and now accounting for nearly 40% of all reported stealing offenses. The trend is especially sharp in Greater Sydney, particularly the Central Coast, and is driving up overall non-retail crime stats. As e-bike popularity grows, so does their appeal to thieves — and copper thefts are also climbing. If you’re in Sydney, keep your ride locked — this is a hot, rising problem.
