Police are investigating a string of vehicle thefts this week, including a Saturn Ion that was reported stolen from Shearer Street and a Honda Civic that went missing from the North Harbor Club. Officers also found a Honda Accord that had been stolen from Statesville soon after receiving the second stolen vehicle report. On July 20, Concord Road was closed briefly after a Las Vegas woman’s car struck a parked car and rolled over. And we also have a warning from a resident who lost an expensive bike to theft.
Also recently, an unknown suspect threw a bottle at a 40-year-old man as he crossed the street near the 300 block of North Main Street. Details on these incidents and more (along with a tally of the week’s arrests, citations, and traffic enforcement) may be found below.
BICYCLE THEFT WARNING
Cervelo bike like the one taken from a local triathlete.
Davidson resident and triathlete Leigh-Ann Mueller told DavidsonNews.net this week that someone stole a $2,500 road bicycle from her garage in the St. Alban’s neighborhood Monday night, July 23. She’s still looking for it – it’s a Cervelo RS XS frame with 650 wheels.
She also offers a word of warning to others: “This is the time of year to be extra careful about keeping garage doors closed.”
