Bike Stolen in Broad Daylight

A bike was stolen from the 700 block of Lowell on Sunday, January 13 around 2:45 p.m. The audacious suspect walked down the driveway while the residents were in the house and took the bike. There were cars in the driveway and all the blinds were open—clear signs that people were around. The victims ran out of the house only to see the thief and the stolen bike heading south on Gaston.

The suspect is described as an African-American male, either a late teen or young adult with short, close-cropped hair. He was wearing an earth-toned brown/tan jacket.

If you see a suspect matching this description riding a girl’s light blue Huffy bike, please call 911.
