Thanks to GPS tracking technology, the University of Northern Colorado police arrested three people in connection with a string of campus bike thefts.

Officers believe the suspects tried to steal a decoy bike on campus that police planted on a bike rack. According to reports, the bike had a GPS tracking device installed on it inside the seat.

According to arrest affidavits, police made the first arrest in April. The GPS tracker installed in the bike alerted officers around 10 a.m. that the bike was on the move. Police found the suspect riding the bike between 4th and 5th avenues in the 2000 block alley after following the GPS signals. They continued to follow the suspect and eventually located the bike parked in front of a 5th Ave home. Police found and arrested the suspect on possession of burglary tools and suspicion of theft.
