EL SUSPECTO AGARRADO POR SU BICICLETA



Bike Leads to Theft Suspect
XENIA, Ohio (UPI) -- Police in Xenia, Ohio, said they were able to track down a suspected cigarette thief after he left his bike at the scene of the crime. Xenia police Capt. Dan Donahue said the 35-year-old suspect, who has not yet been formally charged, was recorded by a security camera threatening a clerk with a steel bar and filling a duffel bag with cigarettes, the Dayton (Ohio) Daily News reported Tuesday. However, the video shows the man fleeing without his loot after a struggle with the clerk, Donahue said. He also left his bicycle and the steel pipe behind. "The fact that he left the bike behind later helped identify him," Donahue said. The suspect was in custody Tuesday at the Greene County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bond.
