Are ‘bait bikes’ the answer to tackling theft?

Gardaí are using ‘bait bikes’ in an attempt to catch would-be thieves. This follows an increase in the number of bicycles and motorbikes being stolen across the country. In one operation, in North Dublin, Gardaí deployed a high-end valuable electric motorbike at various theft hot spots. They kept the bike under surveillance – ready to swoop in if anyone attempted to rob it. What do you think about this approach from Gardaí? Could it be part of a solution to tackle bike theft? Andrea is joined by listeners to discuss.
