Posted: 2:58 PM- A 21-year-old gang member was busted Saturday riding a stolen tricycle, according to police.
Orem police Lt. Doug Edwards said a mother and her young daughter went to a local store Saturday evening, the little girl riding her new tricycle.
When they came out of the store a short time later they found the tricycle missing and called police to report the theft.
While an officer was taking the report, two officers working with Orem's Gang Task Force spotted the suspect gliding down Orem Boulevard on the stolen tricycle and detained him, said Edwards.
He was arrested for stealing the trike and providing false personal information to the police for giving the officers three different false names.
