North Aurora police ask for help in stolen trike case

North Aurora police have asked for the public's help in recovering a resident's recumbent electric trike and identifying the man who they say stole it Monday.

The crime took place about 3:40 p.m. on the 100 block of South Lincolnway Avenue.

The trike is a black Eco Delta SX worth nearly $3,000. The owner has mobility issues and needs the trike to get around.

The thief left a blue mountain bike with a flat tire at the scene, police said.
