WE GOT THEM!!!!!!!!!!
At 6:30pm April 19th I got a call from Rob Allen at Spinner's Bike shop in
Leola, Pa.(out by Lancaster). He thought he had our guys but needed some
photos to be 100%. We sent him the photos, he made an immediate id and
called the police. The police came and after some interviews and with the
help our our surveillance camera photos they finally confessed. They were
two University of Delaware students and guess what???? Just like I
thought..Runners! How about that? They were trying to do the same thing to
Rob. They had fake ids and parked their car a mile away from his store.
They are being charged with attempted robbery in Leola and then will be
brought back to Abington for the robbery charges. What a relief! We don't
have the bikes back yet but the thieves said they still had them, so I am
hoping to get them back shortly.
Finally let me say thank you for everyone's help. It was amazing to see the
biking community in the greater Philadelphia area and beyond come together
to assist us in finding the suspects. Thank you all for your well wishes
and sympathy. Thank you for all the advice and for the outpour of support.
It was incredible to see how email and the internet could be so instrumental
in finding these guys. Thank you Rob for being heads up and looking out for
us!

Good to hear :)

Hello everyone:
I had two bikes stolen tonight from the Keswick Cycle Glenside, Pa store. I am offering a $1000 reward per bike. I want the bikes back but I also want the individuals responsible for it to be arrested. The first bike was a Specialized Tarmac S-works 56cm with Dura ace. It had a white saddle and white handle bar tape. The second was a Pinarello f4:13 in a 55cm. It was carbon with red and white decals. Both bike would really stand out with whom ever was riding them.I am very upset and want to get the word out. The two guys who stole the bikes have the following descriptions. First guy around 5,10" to 6 foot. Caucasian with blond hair and was thin but athletic. He was definitely either a rower, runner or cyclist. He was wearing pearl izumi bike shorts a black sweatshirt and a baseball cap. He was in his late teens or early twenties. He claimed to be a Penn student who was graduating and was check out bikes for a graduation present. He was also seen in Bicycle Therapy on south street recently trying to test ride bikes late last week.
He also claimed to be a penn student there as well.
Second guy was a bit shorter, caucasian but had a very similar build. They both look like rowers, runners or cyclist. They were both very fit and knew bikes. They second one had brown hair and kind of looked like he had dreadlocks a little bit. His hair was definitely long than the taller kid.
He wore glasses. He was wearing pearl izumi shorts, a navy sweat shirt and a blue Nike hat.
The taller one used the name Michael Singelton or Michael Singeltary.
I definitely think they were local, probably in college and athletes of some sort. Please keep your eyes out in the up coming weeks for these bike. They will definitely stand out!
Please pass this out anyone you know.
Remember a $1000 reward per bike as long as it leads to an arrest of the individuals who stole the bikes.
thanks for your help
