Bike thief at Gladstone Police Department (via Facebook).PNGVideo: Thief tries to steal bike from outside police station - and gets arrested
A man who tried to steal a bike from outside a police station in Oregon was Tarrested after officers spotted the attempted theft on CCTV.
The attempted theft took place on the evening of 27 December with the video posted to Facebook by the Gladstone Police Department.
The footage has gone viral with more than 170,000 views and has received national news coverage.
The man, named as Adam Valle, was using bolt-croppers to try and break the bike's lock when an officer identified as Sargeant Okerman came out of the police station pointed a Taser at him to detain him.
Other officers subsequently arrived to help arrest the man, who had been wearing a hat and a hoodie to try and conceal his identity.
