Here’s the press release from the Asheville Police Department:

ASHEVILLE – Police are asking the public’s help to locate the suspects who stole a truck from a local charity and used it to steal and haul dirt bikes from a local business.

On Aug. 9 at about 1:30 a.m., the two suspects stole a 1981 red and black Ford F-350 truck from the premises of Habitat for Humanity (30 Meadow Road) and drove it to Biltmore Iron & Metal (1 Meadow Road).

Once at Biltmore Iron, the suspects loaded up 13 new dirt bikes that were being stored there for later sale by one of the business owners.

It is believed that the suspects had broken into Biltmore Iron earlier that same evening and had discovered the dirt bikes, which were unassembled and still in boxes.

The suspects are described as two young white males with medium builds.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Asheville police at (828) 252-1110 or CrimeStoppers at 255-5050.
