Bicycles stolen – and different ones left in their place

Two residents on the East Side of Bowling Green reported bicycles stolen – and different bicycles left in their place.

On Sunday morning, Bowling Green Police Division responded to a call from a resident of Eighth Street that her son’s black BMX bike had been taken from the side of the apartment building.

The caller reportedly found a teal green Murray USA bike in the same spot where her son’s bike had been taken from.

On Monday afternoon, a resident of Fourth Street reported that his black and red men’s Mongoose bicycle had been stolen overnight. In its place was a women’s black Kent 18-speed bicycle.

Both of the bicycles left behind were placed in police property.
