CBS News recently covered a series of reports within the last two weeks regarding thefts of 14 high-end bicycles in the Wyndmoor area.
According to police, the robberies have taken place between 3:00am and 5:00am.
“They took the one bike off that hook. They took the other bike off of the hook here. And the third bike, they took was simply standing here in the middle,” said resident Carolyn Popvic, who reportedly lost three bikes from her garage early Thursday morning .
“I started checking my cameras, and then there you go,” said resident Chuck Donal, who saw two people on his property just before 4 a.m. Sunday, trying to get into his garage and his house. “They put their hand here, they looked over. Obviously, they saw the ‘Beware of Dog’ sign, because this is lit up at night. Then, they moved over here. They hit the door. But again, that’s locked and obviously deadbolted.”
Nothing from Donal’s property was stolen, but he was described as “shaken.”
Springfield Township Police in Montgomery County ask anyone with information to email detectives@springfieldpd.org or leave an anonymous tip at SpringfieldMontCo.org.
From the Springfield Township Police Department’s Facebook post earlier this week:
Over the last week or so, residents in Wyndmoor have experienced their garages being entered and high end bicycles being stolen. This morning around 4:45am the males pictured below were caught on several security cameras entering yards on Patton Rd from Cheltenham Ave all the way down to a house on Carlisle Rd. We’ve take approximately 12 reports in the last week.
We are looking for assistance identifying the two males in the videos. Both are black males in their late teens or early 20’s. If you have information please email detectives@springfieldpd.org or use the tip line in our website. Either way your identity will remain confidential. Thank you in advance.
