The bike’s owner says the used a resident’s building access code to enter the condo complex. Security cameras in the complex’s lobby and outside the building caught the burglary in action. The video shows two white males scouting the area before grabbing the parcels and before one of them reenters the stairwell and steals the bicycle. The outdoor camera shows the pair putting the bicycle in the back of a black Ford F-150 pickup truck before driving away down John Churchill Chase towards Tchoupitoulas.
