Around 7:40 a.m. Tuesday, three Sacramento State police officers took two men into custody on suspicion of bicycle theft.

The men allegedly attempted to steal two bicycles from the racks in front of the Hornet Bookstore. One of the bicycles was a blue Trek and the other was an orange Mongoose.

Both men were wearing plaid shirts, had shaved heads and blue eyes. Neither would comment on the situation.

At the scene, officers recovered a list of names and phone numbers, a cell phone, a knife, wire cutters, bolt cutters, a screwdriver, gloves, a lighter and cigarettes. Officers would not comment on what happened, but mentioned their next steps in processing the case.

“We take the bicycles for evidence,” said Officer Matthews, one of the officers on the scene. “After the whole case is processed and everything, we try to find the victim(s).”
