Receiving Stolen
Property - Suspect Arrested

detained near the intersection of Live Oak and Peck. Apparently, the suspect
was in the process of taking a vehicle filter box and was interrupted by security.
The suspect tossed the property and fled. Officers located physical evidence
that linked the suspect to the scene. After a search of the surrounding area,
they also located the stolen property, which had the suspect's bicycle tire tread
on it, as well. It appears that the suspect ran over the property with his
bicycle as he was trying to get away from the security guards. The stolen
property was recovered and returned. The suspect was arrested.
