The Metropolitan Police Department recently reported the arrest of a man connected to an early March burglary in Northwest Washington, D.C., in which an E-Bike was stolen from a residential garage. According to MPD's official release, the incident occurred on March 2, at around 4:45 a.m. on the 1200 block of 10th Street.
Detailed accounts by the MPD describe how the individual allegedly trespassed into a homeowner's yard, gained access to their garage, and absconded with the electric bicycle. After a month-long investigation, MPD's officers pinned down 55-year-old Alonzo Sheffield of Northwest, D.C., connecting him to the crime. Sheffield was apprehended on Sunday, and faces charges for Burglary in the Second Degree.
The arrest came after persistent efforts by local law enforcement to address a reported uptick in property crimes involving valuable personal transport devices like E-bikes. The methods used to secure the arrest, however, have not been disclosed by the MPD.
