Update: March 26, 2019 : Police officials say grab-and-run thieves had stolen bikes from a number of Southern California shops



BRAIN reports that the brazen thieves who dashed out with a $10,000 Specialized Stumpjumper from IN-Cycle Bicycles in Chino, California, in February, and then ran over store manager Megan Rodriguez with their GMC Sierra pickup truck while making their escape were arrested. Ronald Wolfe, 20, of Frazier Park, California; Kyle Stewart, 27, of Taft, California; and Nichole Stewart, 23, of Taft, are the suspects in the case and will be charged with robbery, conspiracy and attempted murder by the Chino Police department.



The In-Cycle robbery turned out to be a rodeo: Reportedly, Megan Rodriguez chased the suspects on foot and was brutally run over by the female diver of the escape truck, after which, two other shop employees chased down the robbers in a car and retook the bike after the GMC pickup became mired in traffic. Megan, who suffered a number of fractures and head injuries is recovering well. In-Cycle says they considered the incident to be a work-related injury, so she has full benefits, and expressed huge thanks to the cycling community, including neighboring bike shops, who donated over $35,000 to Megan's Gofundme campaign to help with the inevitable burdens she will face during her rehabilitation.
