At roughly 11:45 a.m., officers with Community F.I.R.S.T. were called about a theft in progress at a store in the Park Street and Lansdowne Street area. They learned that the man had left the store on a bicycle. Officers spotted a man matching the description given to police heading northbound on Park Street. The man continued riding his bicycle on the trail and ended up in a parking lot at Monaghan Road and Lansdowne Street. At that time, the officer drew their Conducted Energy Weapon and the suspect was taken into custody without further incident.

Theft under $5,000
