Assault and Bike Theft of 9-Year-old in Downtown Santa Barbara

By Geo Duarte

A bike was violently taken from a 9 Year Old Male at the basement of Lot 9 behind Marshall’s.  The boy called 911 from his cell phone.

The boy’s older sister headed over to the scene and spotted the alleged bike thieve headed North. The attacker was located in front of the library on the Lot 6 driveway in possession of the said kids-bicycle.

Three officers responded, the property was recovered, and the male suspect was taken into custody. It is not known if the suspect is also a minor.

The original call was a Code 242. “…Juveniles fighting in the lower [portion of the] Lot 9 parking structure.” The faces have been blurred in these photographs.

  1. Thank you SBPD for catching this violent thief so quickly. Thank goodness that as aggravated assaults, robberies, and burglary have increased, the calls to defund the police are starting to fade away. It never made any sense to me that “defund the police” did not mean just that….reduce funding for LE. It’s interesting that the most vocal among us calling for defunding are not affected by crime still support this silly notion. Before you get started, I do understand what the term defund means, so at least give me that.
