Suspected Stolen Bike Recovered During Arrest, Owner Encouraged to Contact Isla Vista Foot Patrol

Deputies arrested a juvenile suspect in an animal abuse case and are attempting to locate the owner of the bicycle that he was riding.

On Wednesday, June 26, 2024, deputies arrested a 14-year-old male juvenile for killing 4 chickens the week prior. When the juvenile suspect was contacted, he was riding a bicycle that deputies believe to be stolen but has not yet been reported.

The bicycle is described as a white, adult-size, Giant brand bicycle with a black rack on the back. The bicycle was possibly stolen somewhere between the south-west or Ellwood area of Goleta and Isla Vista.

Deputies are sharing a photo of the bicycle and would like to encourage the owner to contact the Isla Vista Foot Patrol at (805) 681-4179.

Proof of ownership such as a serial number or receipt will be helpful in confirming ownership and facilitating the return of the bicycle.
