Darien Police responded to three reports of stolen bicycles last week, including two from the Darien train station on Tuesday, July 24.
One bike, a maroon and silver Gary Fisher hybrid mountain bike, was parked on the eastbound side at 10 a.m. on Thursday, July 19, and secured using a chain combination lock, police said. When the owner came back five days later, the $500 bike was missing and the lock was gone.
Another bike was reported stolen from the westbound lot. The black and yellow Giant mountain bike was secured to a sign post at 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, and discovered stolen at 6:30 that evening. It was valued at $750.
The next day, police responded to another bike theft, this time at a Post Road building. The $1,500 black Trek mountain bike was left unsecured next to storage shed at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and was gone when the owner returned an hour later. Police said the owner didn’t lock the bike because he believed it to be out of public view.
