Armed robbers held up a van carrying expensive cycles for the Berkeley High School mountain bike team in the latest of a series of brazen bike thefts in the East Bay
BERKELEY — It was a frightening experience for three coaches and two students on the Berkeley High School Mountain Bike team Saturday. Police say two robbers carjacked them for their expensive bikes mounted on a minivan.
“We were certainly followed. I don’t know how long we were followed,” said Coach Dan Leaverton, who was driving his Honda Odyssey. Leaverton said there were four mountain bikes mounted behind the Honda Odyssey and another bike inside the minivan.“After I saw the gun, I got a sense of the danger and I guess ‘fight or flight’ kicked in and so I ran behind this fence,” Caldas said.
Leaverton lost the carbon fiberglass bike he had recently bought. He said the bike was worth about $6,500. Altogether, the victims said the four stolen bikes were worth about $20,000.
