bikes could be found on the BSU campus. As a result six bikes were
located. A search of the immediate area resulted in the recovery of the
remaining 7 bikes. All 13 of the stolen bikes have now been recovered
from three locations on the BSU campus.

the citizen who took the time to call police and help us recover these
bikes as quickly as they did. This type of cooperation between police
and the citizens we serve is exactly the type of partnership that helps
