<p><strong>CHICAGO (CBS) –</strong> Three young men have been arrested for allegedly stealing $20,000 worth of high-end bicycles and accessories from a small shop along the Chicago Lakefront Trail.</p>
<p>WBBM Newsradio’s Mike Krauser reports 19-year-old Jeremiah Aviles, 19-year-old Israel Perez, and 22-year-old Mauricio Franco have been arrested on felony burglary charges.</p>
<p>The three are accused of breaking into Lakeshore Bike, a small bicycle shop on the Lakefront Trail at Recreation and Addison drives, around 5 a.m. on Sept. 7.</p>
<p>“These guys are avid cyclists, and they cherry-picked the best equipment in my place,” owner Demian March said.</p>
