“The marking compound is dark blue in colour and may be difficult to see on dark coloured frames such as navy or black.

"However, the compound also contains a UV element so the police can see the marking under a UV light.”

Pop along with your bike to the mobile police office on Morecambe promenade opposite the Winter Gardens from 1pm on Saturday, (October 7).
