7/21/14 - A rash of motorcycle thefts has struck South Lyon and nearby communities, and officials are warning residents to be on guard. Beginning June 4th and continuing into July, thieves have been targeting motorcycles and saddle bags in car ports and parking lots. Two Harley-Davidson motorcycles were stolen from a South Lyon condominium development on that date, and the South Lyon Herald reports similar thefts took place in Plymouth and Canton on the same day. Since then, another motorcycle and two sets of saddlebags have been stolen from other parking areas. At least one set of saddlebags was on a Harley-Davidson that was heavily locked, perhaps deterring the thieves from taking the motorcycle itself. The South Lyon Police are encouraging residents to take extra precautions when locking up their motorcycles, especially if they are parked in the open. The department is working with authorities in Canton and Plymouth in their investigation. (TD)
