The Juneau Police Department has released footage showing who it believes is the suspect in an alleged robbery that occurred Thursday, during which the victim fought back and took the suspect’s bicycle.
JPD spokesperson Kris Sells says the suspect shown in the video robbed an employee of the Little Hong Kong restaurant in Juneau as she was leaving. He managed to ride up on his bicycle behind the woman and take a bag of receipts and money from her. She reportedly chased him and knocked him to the ground, taking the bike. He can be seen fleeing the scene in the video, police say.
The suspect is described as a 5-foot-8-inch male with “possibly ‘tan’ skin,” Sells said in a statement. Besides a clothing description, no other information was available for his appearance.
“While he does not look at the camera, we are hoping someone who knows the individual might be able to recognize the clothing and movement of the subject,” Sells said.
Anyone with information on the suspect or the robbery is asked to call Juneau police at 586-0600, or submit an anonymous report on the Juneau Police website using the Crime Line link.
“Information leading to the identification of a suspect may result in a Crime Stoppers Reward,” Sells says.
