A Phoenix girl whose bicycle was stolen has several Phoenix police officers to thank for some brand new wheels.
Joanne Shoup told police a burglar stole her granddaughters' two bicycles from her backyard in the 3100 block of North 33rd Street.
After taking her information, Officer Mike Taylor began searching for the bikes in his neighborhood beat.
Taylor said he saw a man acting suspiciously riding a bicycle and pulling a small girl's bike that matched the description of one of the stolen bikes.
Taylor stopped the man. As the officer was attempting to verify the man's identity, the suspect fled.
The officer took the bike to Shoup's home and the woman identified the property as one of the stolen bicycles.
Taylor realized one of the girls now had her bike back and the other one didn't. So Taylor, along with two fellow officers, opened their wallets and purchased a new bicycle for the second grandchild.
"Wow!! Words just cannot express my happiness and gratitude to the Phoenix Police Department," Shoup wrote on her Facebook page.
