The Clark County Sheriff's Office is investigating the theft of more than $23,000 worth of bicycles and equipment from Salmon Creek Elementary School, including adaptive bikes used in a student safety program.
Deputies responded to the school Nov. 2 after staff discovered a break-in at a storage trailer containing bicycles provided through a grant-funded bike safety education program. Surveillance footage shows what appear to be two people removing bicycles from the trailer around 1:30 a.m., according to a Clark County Sheriff's Office news release.
A total of 18 bicycles were stolen, including three adaptive bikes designed to accommodate students with different physical abilities. Deputies recovered six of the bicycles, valued at approximately $7,800, in the Hazel Dell area on Nov. 3. The remaining 12 bicycles have not been located, and no suspects have been identified.
Deputies are continuing to investigate. The Sheriff's Office is asking anyone with information about the theft or the remaining bicycles to call the Clark County non-emergency line at 311 and reference case No. 26008263.
