Provo Police Discover Storage Unit Full of Stolen E-Bikes and Property

Provo police recently arrested Jordan Olsen after discovering his storage unit filled with stolen electric bicycles and other property. The investigation initially began when officers were searching for two stolen e-bikes valued at $2,200 each. During the search, they uncovered additional stolen items, including other e-bikes, scooters, and a set of golf clubs valued at over $400, which had been stolen near the BYU campus earlier this month. Olsen’s vehicle had been seen at the scene of that theft, linking him to the crime. The stolen property in Olsen’s storage unit is currently valued at over $8,000, but police have not yet determined the full extent of the stolen goods.
