An alert officer caught a bike thief in the act on Tuesday. Early Thursday morning, Santa Cruz PD arrested two more bike thieves shortly after the victim reported the theft.
Two men took the bike at 1:20 AM in a strong arm robbery near Riverside and Soquel avenues, according to the Sentinel. The victim called police, who found the suspects within the hour, arrested them, and returned the bike to its owner.
Two more gold stars for the Santa Cruz PD. We’re up to something like six bike thieves arrested since November.
