Man suspected of theft banned from UA
Police issued a written order for a man not to return to campus after catching him apparently attempting to steal bikes and bike parts on Sunday.
A police aid called the University of Arizona Police Department after seeing a man who appeared to be handling two different bikes, a bike tire, a box and a backpack. Police noted that there had been an increased number of bike thefts in the area. The man was found sitting on a bike while carrying a box and wearing a backpack. Police asked the man to get off the bike and sit down so they could question him. He complied.
Police asked if they could look in his box and backpack and he said yes. In the backpack, there was a power drill with socket attachments, two brass wrenches, tools, two bike chains, plastic wedges used to pry open windows in cars and other miscellaneous tools and locks.
In the box, there were a number of bike tubes, handlebars, shifters and cables. The man was told that he was not under arrest but police did want to question him, so he was read his Miranda rights. He told police that he lived at Speedway Boulevard and Alvernon Way but only comes to campus to park his bike, because it is a high traffic area and is less likely to be stolen. He did not answer police as to why he chooses to park on campus when he lives so far away. He claimed to have found the bike parts from behind the bike store on Sixth Street and Fremont Avenue.
The man informed police that he only had bike tools to help people who needed help with their bikes. Police noted that the man had been contacted by police previously, when he was with another man who is a known thief of bikes and bike parts.
Because police said the man had no legitimate reason to be on campus he was given a UA Exclusionary Order. The man was informed that if he returned to campus, he would be subject to arrest on charges of trespassing.
