An Orange County e-bike owner was able to track their stolen bike.
A Costa Mesa police officer located the e-bike in some bushes and then chased the suspect who took off running.
After a foot pursuit by another officer, the suspect was arrested in a nearby parking structure and was booked on grand theft.
Kudos to our two officers who returned the e-bike to its owner!
