High End Bike Theft Ring Bust in West Los Angeles

Bicycle Burglary Ring caught in West Los Angeles by LAPD........... Do any of my fellow cyclists on the West-Side that know anyone who got their high end bicycles, wheel sets etc... stolen out of their garage in the past year and a half? If so, we identified a ring of bike thieves committing said crimes and arrested them 2 days ago. Thanks to a victim named Trey, who was EXTREMELY diligent and gave us great information to start off with about the possible suspects. If you got your bicycle(s) stolen contact LAPD West LA division Burglary detectives. We've recovered a bunch of bicycles and accessories. Please Pass this on to anyone you think may have been victimized. Don't have them contact me, have them contact the LAPD West LA division burglary detectives @ (310)-444-1580.

Ride Safe,
Rusty Redican

PS these suspects were very brazen and knew what they were looking for, only stealing high end bicycles. And they've been doing this for a long time.

I hope these guys get the max punishment. Or at least change the way they live if nothing else.

If I ever went into law enforcement, I would try to go into robbery and go after bike thieves in particular.

As part of punishment, how about have these thieves clean and pump bikes for free for others?

I wouldn't let some scumbag bicycle thief near my bike to clean it, pump up the tires, or for any other reason.

Their punishments would be to riding nothing but Firenzes for the rest of their lives.

I would have them share a jail cell with Jerry Sandusky.

So for those of you out there who have purchased high end bikes and/or accessories from these crooks, you are also culpable. Please step forward and confess. You can help convict these crooks.
