Thieves steal $25,000 worth of goods from Bikes and Hikes LA Tours and leave evidence
As KTLA reported, the owner of a West Hollywood bike shop is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the capture of thieves who broke into his store three times in the past three weeks.
Bikes and Hikes LA Tours, located in the 7700 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, has been a repeated target of thieves. The most recent break-in occurred early Tuesday morning. Surveillance camera footage shows two thieves smashing the store's window with a hammer and stealing an estimated $25,000 worth of merchandise.
Owner Danny Roman expressed his frustration with the series of break-ins, pointing out that the suspects left behind a vape pen and a lock, which he hopes could serve as evidence.
Roman has contacted the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and asked for increased patrols in the area and for a detective to review surveillance footage. He also plans to invest in a more modern surveillance and security system to protect his business from future incidents.
