Specialty bike stolen from handicapped man in Tampa

TAMPA, Fla. - Deputies are searching for two suspects spotted on camera stealing a specialty hand bike from a handicapped man in Tampa on Wednesday.

Deputies said the bike was left unsecure in front of the Wawa on E. Fletcher Ave. just after 6 p.m. when two suspects stole it and fled west toward N. 22nd St.

The bike was a green Quickie Shark hand bike valued at $2,000 and was donated to the victim, who's handicapped, by the parks and recreation department, deputies said.

The other was described as having black dreads, a black t-shirt with the word "Bacon" on the back, blue jeans and red apron (possible fast food worker uniform.)
