Yesterday morning, while a 14-year-old boy was playing with his friends, an adult male quickly stole his bicycle and rode off, according to the Orange Police Department.
Orange patrol officers gathered surveillance video, saturated the area, and found the suspect hiding nearby.
The boy and his bike were reunited and the suspect was booked at Orange County Jail.
No more bike rides for him!
