Sheriff’s office asks for help in nabbing RV park bicycle thieves

Two thieves were caught on video surveillance last week while stealing bicycles from an RV lot.

Surveillance footage shows two people stealing bicycles from the Silver Springs Camper Garden RV park last week.
This bike matches the type that was stolen from a Silver Springs RV park last week.

The two initially rode past a recreational vehicle early Friday morning while it was parked at the Silver Springs Camper Garden and then came back on foot about an hour later. They then used bolt and wire cutters to release the bikes, a Marion County Sheriff’s Office report states.

A short time later, the men rode away on the bikes, which has prompted the sheriff’s office to ask for the public’s help in nabbing the bandits, one of whom clearly can be seen on the surveillance footage.

Anyone with information about the incident or the identifies of those involved is asked to call (352) 732-9111. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers of Marion County at (352) 368-STOP (7867). Tips also can be submitted at ocalacrimestoppers.com. Please reference 19-04 in your tip.

Also, if a Crime Stoppers tip leads to an arrest, the caller may be eligible for a cash reward.
