The e-bike was stolen from Beachside High School, police said.
Police have recovered a stolen e-bike after tracking it to the suspect’s Ponte Vedra home using GPS tracking, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office.
According to an arrest report, the defendant was observed on Beachside High School property around 6:30 p.m. on January 22 approaching the $1,699 e-bike.
Surveillance footage shows the individual riding the bike around the parking lot before returning it to its original location, papers state.
A GPS tracker led to an arrest police said.
On January 24, the suspect returned to the property multiple times.
At 6:24 p.m., surveillance cameras recorded him inspecting the e-bike before moving it to a nearby shed.
The suspect left the property at 6:29 p.m., returned at 7:09 p.m., and spent several minutes examining the bike before loading it into a vehicle and leaving the premises.
Authorities later tracked the stolen e-bike via its GPS device, which indicated the bike’s location.
Law enforcement confronted the suspect at the home, where the e-bike was found in the garage. It was unknown if the victim and alleged thief knew each other.
The bicycle was recovered and returned to the owner.
The defendant has been charged with grand theft, and the case is ongoing.
