Juvenile Suspects Arrested in Bicycle Robbery
On Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at about 1:35 p.m., deputies with Salida Police Services responded to the intersection of Finney Road and Danforth Way in Salida, regarding a robbery. Upon arrival, deputies contacted a juvenile victim who reported that his bicycle had been stolen.
During the investigation, it was determined that a juvenile suspect stole the bicycle after threatening the victim by claiming to be armed with a firearm and stating he would shoot him if he did not comply. The victim complied with the suspect’s demands and handed over the bicycle.
Salida Deputies and detectives obtained surveillance footage of the incident and gathered additional evidence. As the investigation progressed, it was determined that a second teenage suspect was involved in the planning and ex*****on of the robbery.
These efforts resulted in the identification of both suspects. Multiple search warrants were authored and served, leading to their arrests. Both minors were booked into the Stanislaus County Juvenile Hall without incident. The victim’s bicycle remains missing.
Out of respect for the victim and California’s confidentiality laws, no further information about the juveniles will be released.
