POLICE SEEKING SUSPECT IN BICYCLE THEFT

Freeman Police are searching for a man they say stole a bicycle that was parked on the west side of Freeman Junior-Senior High School Thursday morning, June 1.

Officer Jay Slevin said the man was seen bicycling down Walnut Street at 7:06 a.m. before pulling into the school’s back parking lot. School camera footage shows that he then ditched his own bike and at 7:36 a.m. took a bicycle that belonged to school custodian Larry Wipf, who was mowing the lawn, before heading back north on Walnut Street. Slevin said at some point the suspect’s own bicycle was then retrieved.

The man has not been seen since.

Anybody with information should contact Freeman Police immediately at 605-925-7025.
