Bike Caper: On Feb. 25, Mike’s Bikes notified the Novato Police Department that a shipping container and trailer had been stolen from their Novato facility on Feb. 21. The shipping container was storing a significant amount of bicycles that were scheduled to be donated through the Mike’s Bikes Foundation to developing countries in Africa. Mike’s Bikes employees were aware that the container was scheduled to be picked up from their facility on February 21. However it wasn’t until February 25 that they learned the container had been stolen by a suspect driving a semi-truck, and not picked up as part of a previously scheduled event. Continuing with the investigation, officers learned that the semi-truck used to steal the container from Mike’s Bikes was reported stolen to the Petaluma Police Department on February 22. On February 28, it was learned that the truck and trailer had been recovered in Concord, CA and towed to a storage yard. When the trailer was recovered, it did contain a significant amount of bicycles which will be released back to Mike’s Bikes in the near future. No suspects have been arrested in relation to this theft. Detectives are actively working this investigation to recover evidence and develop suspect leads in conjunction with Petaluma and Concord Police Departments.
