Authorities asked for the public’s help Friday in identifying a man suspected of stealing a high-end mountain bike worth several thousand dollars from a Calabasas parking area.
The theft was reported at around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday in the 5900 block of Las Virgenes, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Sheriff’s officials said the suspect used bolt cutters to cut the chain securing a white Specialized Epic 8 Evo Comp mountain bike to a pole in a parking area. The high-end bicycle typically sells for between $3,800 and $4,500.
The suspect was described as a white man between 30 and 35 years old. He was last seen wearing a black hat, light-colored pants, a black long-sleeve sweatshirt, and black and white tennis shoes.
