Police are investigating the theft of an electric bicycle from a secured Salina backyard.
A 50-year-old Salina man told police that sometime between 10 p.m. Monday and 10 a.m. Tuesday, someone stole his ECO TRIC, pedal assist electric bicycle from his fenced-in back yard in the 200 block of Baker Street, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester. The fence is a privacy fence and the gate was secured with a padlock, so the bicycle had to have been lifted over the fence, Forrester noted.
The bicycle was described as being matte black with green and white lettering and having four-inch wide tires. The digital mileage display showed the bicycle to have approximately 1,600 miles on it.
The bicycle is valued at $1,000.
