Burglars broke into the Bicycle Pro Shop in North Springfield twice in late May and the suspects were photographed by surveillance cameras, leading detectives from the West Springfield Police District’s Criminal Investigations Division to believe the two burglaries are connected.
On May 21, officers responded to the Bicycle Pro Shop located at 5230 Port Royal Road in North Springfield for the report of a burglary that occurred around 4 a.m., FCPD said. The front door to the business was smashed and over $9,000 worth of merchandise was stolen from the business.
On May 26, officers took another burglary report at the Bicycle Pro Shop. Two suspects forced entry into the store just after 5 a.m. by smashing the front door. The suspects left with nearly $2,000 worth of merchandise. Detectives believe the two burglaries are connected, the FCPD said.
