E-bike theft in Heyrothsberge: witnesses urgently wanted!
On July 30, 2025, a black 28 inch e-bike from Prophet was stolen from Triftweg in Heyrothsberge. The 66-year-old victim had secured her bike with a bike lock around 9:00 a.m reports Magdeburg Klickt. When they returned at 10:45 a.m. the e-bike was missing. The police have already filed a criminal complaint and put the e-bike on a wanted list. Witnesses who can provide information about the incident are asked to contact the Jerichower Land police station.
E-bikes are increasingly becoming a target for thieves. According to information from Powunity, not only the bicycles themselves, but also their valuable components such as batteries, seat posts, lighting systems and pedals are often objects of theft. Brand name spare parts can be very expensive. It is therefore recommended to additionally secure not only the entire e-bike, but also the valuable individual parts.
Theft protection for e-bikes
There are a variety of options for effectively securing e-bikes against theft. A simple method is to use multiple traditional locks. Gravity locking systems are particularly advantageous because they only work when the bike is upside down. Screws, nuts and quick releases can also be protected with gravity locking technology. The HexLox special locking system provides an effective blockage for Allen screws and can only be removed with an individual key.
After the 66-year-old woman mourns the loss of her e-bike, which is still believed to be stolen, it is important for other bike owners to familiarize themselves with appropriate safety techniques. A combination of mechanical and electronic security can help prevent theft and keep you enjoying cycling.
