Stolen Bike Alert
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010Residents,
The Culver City Police Department is currently investigating a bike theft that occurred somewhere in the area of Segrell Way and Culver Park Dr. The bicycle was found in front of 11390 Segrell Way and a juvenile was arrested for its theft. Unfortunately, they do not know who owns the bicycle as the juvenile does not remember (or will not say) which residence he took it from. In addition, if no one claims the bicycle, they will not be able to file against the juvenile. The bicycle is a blue Specialized Expdition mountain bike with a gray and black seat, and a sumo wrestler on the handlebars (see attachment).
If you are the owner of this bicycle or have any question, please contact Detective Eden Palacio at (310) 253-6320 or myself.
Sincerely,
Anthony Rizzo
