Thieving teens on bikes/Register your Bikes - Lockwood

7 Jul 2013

Howdy,
This afternoon and again earlier this evening there was a group of 3-5 teens on bikes
going thru Lockwood and brazenly stealing from neighbors' backyard. A couple folks
caught them in the act and they fled, twice leaving bikes behind. One neighbor had two
bikes stolen from her yard.
Please keep anything valuable locked up at all times. Today's attempts happened in
broad daylight while families were at their homes.
Also, Wake County Sheriff has a bike registration page here:

 Some kids were found going through our shed in the backyard just now - both cars in the
driveway, we were obviously home - pretty ballsy. My husband chased them out and one of
the 5 left behind a nice bike- looks brand new. Considering what he caught them doing
there's a good chance the bike was stolen. The kids dispersed running in several
directions. All around the ages of 13-16 looked like. Who knows if they'll go
wandering again today or not.
 The police have taken the bike left behind and said that it could be claimed at the
Cabarrus station where they keep evidence, etc.
