Suspect in “hundreds” of stolen bike arrested in Aurora – Aurora, Colorado

The man, accused of being a chronic bicycle thief, was tackled to the ground by several Aurora men who detained him there until police arrived and the suspect was detained.

Aurora police have been investigating a series of bicycle thefts from Stanley Marketplace for several months, police said on Twitter on Friday.

On May 5, the suspect was surrounded by at least three men, detained him on the ground and summoned police. The suspect was arrested for an investigation of unpaid warrants and theft.

Police believe the suspect is responsible for stealing “hundreds” of bicycles in northwestern Aurora and perhaps in Denver. The agency took swift action and praised community members who “safely detained the suspect.”
