This is how you can tell an Edinburgh Just Eat bike is stolen - and what to do if you see one

Police shared the advice on Twitter.

There is one sure-fire way to tell if an Just Eat bike is stolen in Edinburgh - and not many people know about it.

Edinburgh Police South East team shared this handy snippet of advice on their Twitter account.

According to them a flashing red and blue light on the front wheel is the sign that the bike has been taken illegally.

Jokingly, the force said that the flashing light may resemble a 'cool disco light'.

The tweet read: "What may looks like cool disco lights are actually the signs of a stolen Just Eat bike!!

"If you see someone riding one which is flashing away like this, give us a call."

the Just Eat bikes, which require an app to sign them out, have been targeted by several vandals since they were installed in the Capital.

In November 2019, the Evening News shared video footage of a group of youths vandalising a dock of bikes just off Leith Walk.
