In a daring attempted theft in Upland, thieves targeted an e-bike locked to a disabled parking sign. Rather than success, their actions led to their apprehension thanks to swift police intervention.
Spotting the bike after its owner had secured it to the metal sign, the thieves made a hasty move to seize it. Despite their efforts to break the lock, the suspects resorted to using a cordless saw to bring down the sign and grab the bike before absconding from the scene.
Through astute investigative work, law enforcement officers managed to identify the suspects’ vehicle and discovered the stolen bike concealed beneath blankets at their residence in Upland. Subsequently, the three perpetrators were arrested and charged with theft and vandalism.
This incident serves as a reminder of the critical role of law enforcement in promptly addressing criminal activities. The resolution highlights the importance of community vigilance and the tireless efforts of police departments in upholding public safety.
