Valentine’s night took a hard turn at Al's Bicycles in southwest Oklahoma City, where suspects allegedly plowed a truck through the front entrance in a late-night smash-and-grab that left the storefront banged up and staff scrambling to see what was missing. The owner estimates roughly $2,000 in damage, and the shop is dangling a $500 store credit for any tip that helps police land an arrest.
Owner Matt Dennis told News 9 the suspects "rammed a truck into the front entrance to rob the shop" late on Valentine’s Day. The hit left workers stunned but, according to Dennis, no one was physically hurt.
As reported by News 9, employees arrived to find a security camera knocked down and are now working through an inventory to figure out exactly what was taken. The store has put the damage estimate at about $2,000 and confirmed it is offering a $500 store credit for information that leads to an arrest. Staff say they are cooperating with Oklahoma City police as investigators follow up on leads.
Where It Happened
Al's lists its southwest Oklahoma City shop at 8900 S Walker Ave, one of three area locations. The listing on the retailer’s website, which includes the store’s contact details and regular hours while staff continue counting missing items, confirms the SW OKC address on Al's Bicycles.
Police, Store Response And What To Watch For
The business says it is working with Oklahoma City police, and so far no arrests have been announced. In cases like this, investigators typically urge nearby residents and drivers to review doorbell and dash-cam footage from late on Valentine’s Day for anything suspicious. According to the shop, anyone whose tip helps lead to an arrest could be eligible for the $500 store credit reward.
