Richmond Police detectives have arrested Ronald Henderson, 52, of the 900 block of Travis Drive, Lawrenceville, VA for stealing a bicycle used by a competitor in the UCI Road World Championships. The bicycle was taken from the Marriott Hotel Thursday evening when it was left unattended.
Acting on a tip, RPD detectives located Henderson yesterday
afternoon at the corner of 5th and East Broad Streets. At about the
same time, using information provided by the tipster, RPD detectives also
located the stolen bicycle.
“We are pleased we were able to find the bicycle in good
working order and return it to the UCI team for use in this week’s
competition,” said RPD Chief Alfred Durham. “I would like to thank the
person who came forward with the information that allowed detectives to find
the bicycle so quickly and make the arrest.”
Henderson has been charged with Grand Larceny and
Obtaining Money under False Pretenses, both felonies. He was also charged
with Possession of Marijuana, a misdemeanor.
