Mornings with John Mackenzie

John MacKenzie chats with Senior Constable Heidi Marek of the Cairns District Crime Prevention Office, about the recent spate of bicycle thefts, sometimes with force.

Some younger people have reported being robbed of their bikes by force with social media reporting daily occurrences.
