A 33-year-old man was arrested Wednesday morning after police suspect he broke into a Tustin bike shop.

Shortly after 8 a.m., Jose Manuel Elias is suspected of smashing a glass door at Don’s Schwinn Cyclery, 121 N. Prospect Ave., which set off a security alarm, officials said.

A caller phoned Tustin police and said a man was seen leaving the bike store on a tricycle.

Minutes later, officers found Elias near First and Lyon streets, more than a mile away in Santa Ana, officials said.

“Elias was in the process of sawing a cable lock off a bicycle frame which was locked to a wrought iron fence,” according to a police press release. “Next to Elias was a new-looking, adult-sized tricycle.”

Elias was arrested on suspicion of burglary, possession of burglary tools and drug paraphernalia.

He was also arrested for an outstanding warrant stemming from a May 15 incident where he was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor vandalism, drug and drug paraphernalia possession.

Elias pleaded guilty last September to possession of drug paraphernalia and was sentenced to six days in county jail, according to court records.

The broken door at Don’s Schwinn Cyclery had been replaced by plywood Thursday afternoon and employees at the neighboring businesses said the area is not known for a lot of crime, except for window vandalism and graffiti.

Bryce Rogalski, manager of Santiago Cycling, which is one of the three bike businesses on the block, said someone stole a similar-style tricycle, valued around $800, from Santiago Cycling about three years ago.

“We never found him or that bike,” he said. “We’re curious to know if it’s related.”
