On Sunday at 5:30 a.m., a 32-year-old man and 30-year-old woman returned to their home on Lexington between Sycamore and 18th after leaving the front door unlocked. They heard footsteps in the living room before a man in his 40s ran out of the house, got on a bicycle, and fled southbound on Lexington. The victim then discovered bicycles missing from the house.

On Tuesday at 10:30 p.m., a 38-year-old man was walking near Shotwell and 21st when two men in their late 20s approached him. One of the suspects pulled out a knife and put it up to the victim’s chin, grabbing a ring off of his hand. The other suspect stole the victim’s wallet, backpack, and cell phone. Both suspects then fled on foot.
