UC Davis police arrested a 40-year-old man on suspicion of bike theft Thursday — the fourth such arrest campus authorities have made in recent weeks.
UCD spokesman Andy Fell said residents of Solano Park housing complex called police at about 8:15 a.m. to report a suspicious person riding a bike who appeared to be looking at other bicycles in the area. A groundskeeper later phoned in a similar report.
Officers responding to the area located a man matching the suspect’s description and, upon making contact with him, determined he had a warrant for his arrest out of Sacramento, Fell said. The bike he was riding had been stolen from a Solano Park patio.
The suspect, identified as Thomas Jones, was booked into the Yolo County Jail on suspicion of possessing stolen property, as well as for the warrant, Fell said.
