Police Incidents
Bike Stolen from Mowbray Road
An ITC follower notified us of the following incident:
“Someone has broken into the bottom level of the unit carport and cut open our cage and stole a bike with the street value of $2000. We are in lane cove north on Mowbray Road.
We have contacted the police.”
The good news is that the bike was found and will be returned to the owner. A person was riding the bike in Bondi and came to the police’s attention. The rider was stopped (they may have been riding on the footpath or did not have a helmet) and the police checked their records and found the bike was stolen. This incident shows why it is so important to report stolen items to the police as soon as possible.
