Yeah. Can you just give me a quick description on those bikes in the picture?
00:04
This one bike that I'm out with is silver with white wall tires, thick tires.
00:10
Just let me know if that's part of the bikes because now I'm going to cut these individuals loose.
00:13
They're in 8th grade.
00:17
Yeah, stand by.
00:18
There's one light colored one.
00:20
Let me just see if it matches that description.
00:24
Yeah, the person on the bike has light gray pants.
00:28
The front tire's pink and white.
00:31
It's a silver bike. So just let me know if you got that on camera.
00:35
Two nine, it looks like a negative.
00:37
I only see three bikes, and none of those match those descriptions.
00:48
All right, I'm out with three individuals though.
00:49
So can you give me a description on anything? On the people, you got helmets, hats.
00:54
What do you got?
00:58
First one appears to be a black e-bike.
01:03
Looks like maybe it's either dark blue or black pants, a black sweatshirt,
01:08
maybe some kind of gray backpack.
01:11
Second bike looks like a regular traditional mountain bike.
01:15
Again, either dark colored pants, blue or black, and like a light gray hoodie,
01:21
also darker hair.
01:23
Stand by for a third description.
01:27
You don't have a helmet, or you don't have a looks like a winter hat.
01:32
I guess you'd call it.
01:33
I have no backpack on scene either.
01:39
The ones that I have here definitely don't have helmets on.
01:42
It's a little hard to tell if they have a winter hat on or not though.
01:44
It's too far away.
01:47
All right, thank you.
01:51
Thank you for the call.
01:54
Yeah.
01:57
I got a crime suppression out in Garfield with a juvenile wearing black sweats.
02:04
He has a gray backpack.
02:05
He has a black e-bike that looks like a dirt bike.
02:08
Do you have anybody matching that description on video?
02:13
Yeah, it's hard to tell specifics, but it's very possible.
02:17
There are a couple here with similar descriptions.
02:20
A leading bike is matching that description.
02:22
It's like an electric e-bike that looks like a dirt bike.
02:25
And from what I can tell, the person is wearing all dark clothing.
02:30
LT, you said they had a gray colored backpack?
02:34
Yeah,
02:38
my guess is that's probably one of our suspects.
02:42
Five to comms.
02:45
Yep.
02:48
Any of those bikes have red tires?
02:51
I'm unable to tell.
02:55
Five, it was just on a.
02:59

03:01
I had them stopped.

Those are three 8th graders from Woodridge.
03:05
They said they weren't in that building and none of their descriptions match any of their clothing or bicycles.
03:11
And all three of those bikes are not e-bikes.
03:14
One stood out with a silver frame, with a pink and white tire.
03:20
And the descriptions that were given said nothing.
