PORT NECHES — A thief in Port Neches had a unique mode of transportation when leaving the scene of a crime Monday morning — a bicycle.

The manager of Dollar General, 2825 Nall, was walking out of the store with bank deposit bags when a bicyclist rode by and grabbed the two bags and left the scene about 8:17 a.m. March 15.

No injuries were reported and no weapon was used, Port Neches Police Sgt. Danny Buchholz said.

The suspect is described as a white male in his 30’s, about 5-foot 8-inches tall and about 160 pounds. He was wearing a black ball cap, blue jeans and a black and red jacket.

He was last seen riding an older model green bicycle.

Anyone with information about this crime or any other crime is urged to call EasTex Crime Stoppers at 724-TIPS. You will not be asked your name and could earn a cash reward.
