Moab city officials say that in one day, thieves stole $22,000 worth of bicycles from tourists.
Moab Police Asst. Chief Lex Bell said four bikes were stolen from different areas within Moab city limits, and one other was taken from a Grand County campground.
Bell said that since Moab is a well-loved destination, visitors bring expensive outdoor equipment and recreation gear. To protect their items, a lock can prevent thieves from stealing them, but Bell says it's not enough at times.Bell said two of the five reported stolen bikes were from hotels. One was stolen from a campground."Whoever did it or whatever group did it knew what they were looking for and possibly scouted it out, and took those they found were vulnerable," Bell added.
"The hotels where the bikes were stored, the lighting wasn't the best, so we're going to work with them, to see if we can make those areas a little bit brighter," Bell said. "It might be worth them bringing in an extra room to store bikes in that's locked, inside, covered with cameras," he said.
