The e-bike is a custom-built 27 speed with an Erickson battery on the frame. It’s worth roughly $1500.

Officers also stopped a car Monday morning on Manson Avenue after it was seen speeding and swerving. Police say the 66-year-old man who was driving showed signs of impairment and admitted he had been smoking weed.
