Eugene Police are seeking tips behind the theft of at least $100-thousand worth of bicycles..
Jay Lowe, a partner at Hutch’s Bicycles in downtown Eugene arrived at his shop Wednesday morning to find about 20 bikes were stolen. He says they included electric-assist bikes, and high-end mountain and road bikes.
Lowe appealed for help from the public in a video sent to media by Eugene Police.
“Anything that looks suspicious, we would love some information. This is a pretty big hit to us,” Lowe said. “It’s probably over an excess of $100-thousand and COVID has really played havoc with ours, and the world’s business, I guess. So, any information that we could do to get the bikes back and find out who did this would be greatly appreciated.”
Lowe described Hutch’s as a family owned small business. It’s been around since the 1920s.
If anyone has tips in this case, they are asked to contact Detective Shawn Trotter at 541.682.5168 or STrotter@eugene-or.gov
