Bike Stolen? Call Manhattan Beach Cops

Any Palos Verdes residents who had bicycles or other property stolen earlier this month should call Manhattan Beach police, officers urged Monday.

Police recovered a half dozen bikes and some other items earlier in the month during an investigation that resulted in four arrests. They are now encouraging people in the South Bay who have had items stolen to contact detectives.

On Aug. 2, police stopped a pickup truck containing six stolen bicycles, along with other undisclosed items of stolen property, said Stephanie Martin of the Manhattan Beach Police Department.

The items were stolen in Manhattan Beach and possibly Hermosa Beach between Aug. 1-2, police said.

The four men arrested and booked on suspicion of stealing the items were: Daniel Romero, 22, of Long Beach; Frederick Caampued, 23, of Carson; Nelson Tomaneng, 21, of Carson; and a 17-year-old Carson boy, whose name was withheld.

One person as of Monday has identified a stolen bicycle. Others are encouraged to call detectives at 310-802-5120.
