'You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourself': Beverly Bike Thieves Sought

BEVERLY, MA — Beverly police are asking for assistance in finding a bike that was stolen from outside of the high school while a student-athlete was attending a football game — and admonishing those responsible for the theft.

Police said the student on the team had his bike stolen at about 7:55 during the Nov. 8 game and found it missing when he returned from the game.

Surveillance video (below) showed three youths being picked up by an older, dark-colored Honda Civic, which backed up and allowed the rear passenger to exit and steal the bike before driving away.

"As for the operator of the vehicle, assuming you're an adult or older sibling, you should be ashamed of yourself," police said.

"We ask that you please return the bike to the Beverly Police station, no questions asked, or reach out to SRO Fiore at sfiore@beverlyma.gov," police said.
