Bikelinc powered by Crime Stoppers WA is a register where members of the community can upload information on bikes, and any transport devices, that allows Police to return your property to you should it be stolen and recovered by Police.

The register is a live document that allows you to record your bike as stolen, and also see if any second hand bikes you are purchasing are listed as stolen.  You can transfer ownership, upload photos, and record more than one bike at a time.  The platform will also record any other transport devices like electric scooters, motor bikes, mobility devices, etc.

Police can access the database and if a bike has been listed on Bikelinc and is recovered, Police can return your property to you.
