UPDATE: Investigators need help identifying suspect in minibike, foot pursuit
Bibb County Sheriff's Office deputies recovered a stolen AR-15 Thursday after pursuing a "young male" on a minibike who was not wearing a helmet.
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Bibb County Sheriff’s Office deputies recovered a stolen AR-15 on April 20, after pursuing a “young male” on a minibike who was not wearing a helmet.
That’s according to a sheriff’s office news release, which says deputies observed the suspect on Mumford Road just after 1:30 p.m. and attempted a traffic stop.
The suspect fled, on the bike, to a nearby home and pleaded with the resident who lived there to get inside. Unsuccessful, he ran, leaving the minibike and a book bag behind.
Deputies say the bag contained an AR-15 that was reported stolen in March following an auto break-in. The bag also contained cash, narcotics and a digital scale. The minibike’s serial number had been scratched off.
The sheriff’s office described the suspect as a young male, about 5’6″ to 5’7″, with brown complexion and “large plats hanging from his head.”
Call the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office at (478) 751-7500 or Macon Regional Crimestoppers if you can help in the investigation.
