Bicycle Heist Foiled
This past Thursday evening a neighbor on the 600 block of S.Laurel saw 3 juveniles start to boost a bicycle off the front porch of a student house across the street. She bravely told them to put it back and called the police. The would be thieves left before the police could arrest them, but the neighbor’s daughter shared with the police a cell phone video of the incident.
This is the time of year when police see a lot of these type of crimes happening. Please stay alert.

From WRIC:
RICHMOND, VA—A group bicycle ride in memory of Lanie Kruszewski is set for this Sunday.

The 14-mile ride will go to the corner of River Road and Bridgeway Road, where a memorial for Kruszweski has been set up.
