Madison police may have solved a number of bicycle thefts Wednesday night with the arrest of two men allegedly involved in the theft of two bikes Monday night.

Aaron Hodges, 28, of Madison, and Tyler McGrew, 27, of Prairie du Sac, were arrested on East Washington Avenue, with Hodges tentatively charged with theft and bail jumping, and McGrew tentatively charged with being party to the crime of theft, police said.

"It is believed they may be involved in other similar thefts," said police spokesman Joel DeSpain.

The two were seen Monday night by two women inside their North Frances Street apartment, allegedly using bolt cutters to cut off locks on the women's bikes.

"The men grabbed the bikes and put them into their van," DeSpain said.

The roommates took a photo of the van and got the van's license plate number.

Police spotted the van Wednesday night, pulled it over and arrested the suspects.

"One of the suspects said the bikes were sold at a pawn shop," DeSpain said. "Police are attempting to get the bikes back to their owners."
