Thieves Steal $25,000 in Merchandise from Bikes and Hikes LA Tours, Leaving Behind Evidence
A West Hollywood bike shop owner is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of thieves who have burglarized his business three times in the past three weeks, as reported by KTLA.
Bikes and Hikes LA Tours, located in the 7700 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, has been repeatedly targeted by thieves. The most recent break-in occurred early Tuesday morning. Surveillance footage captured two suspects using a hammer to smash the front window and make off with an estimated $25,000 worth of the store’s merchandise.
Owner Danny Roman expressed his frustration over the string of burglaries, noting that the suspects left behind a vape pen and a lock, which he hopes can serve as evidence.
Roman has contacted the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, requesting increased patrols in the area and a detective to review the security footage. He also plans to invest in a more advanced surveillance and security system to protect his business from future incidents.
