The Suffolk County Police Department always gets their man. Sometimes when that happens, it means a stolen bike is returned to its rightful owner.

In November of last year, 12-year-old Sebastian had his bicycle stolen from the bike rack at a McDonald’s in Lindenhurst. 

First Precinct Officers Vlasios Soldatos, Lucas McDonald and Joal Ortega recently observed a suspect riding the stolen bicycle in Lindenhurst and arrested him. 

Sebastian was all smiles when the officers returned his bicycle to him.
