Briefs: Bold Thief Nabs CPD Blue Bike

A bold thief or two tried to make off with two bicycles ridden by Coeur d’Alene police officers while they were filling out reports early Sunday morning at the City Hall substation. Officer Ed Richardson reports that he heard a loud noise outside the substation door and saw that a male in a white T-shirt and blue jeans was pushing a police bicycle up a nearby hill. Richardson said he raced outside, yelling at the suspect to drop the mountain bike. The suspect did on Eighth Street — and continued running. A second bike ridden by Officer James Dooley remained missing at the end of the shift. The bikes were valued at $500 and $600. Two police citation books also were stolen.
