"Subject: Keswick Bike Theives Caught!!!!
WE GOT THEM!!!!!!!!!!
At 6:30pm April 19th I got a call from Rob Allen at Spinner's Bike shop in Leola, Pa.(out by Lancaster). He thought he had our guys but needed some photos to be 100%. We sent him the photos, he made an immediate id and called the police. The police came and after some interviews and with the help our our surveillance camera photos they finally confessed. They were two University of Delaware students and guess what???? Just like I thought..Runners! How about that? They were trying to do the same thing to Rob. They had fake ids and parked their car a mile away from his store. They are being charged with attempted robbery in Leola and then will be brought back to Abington for the robbery charges. What a relief! We don't have the bikes back yet but the thieves said they still had them, so I am hoping to get them back shortly.
Finally let me say thank you for everyone's help. It was amazing to see the biking community in the greater Philadelphia area and beyond come together to assist us in finding the suspects. Thank you all for your well wishes and sympathy. Thank you for all the advice and for the outpour of support. It was incredible to see how email and the internet could be so instrumental in finding these guys. Thank you Rob for being heads up and looking out for us!
