Albert Salcedo, 35, was riding the stolen bike before Paterson police took him into custody, Detective Sgt. Michael Giampietro told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

The motorcycle was one of three stolen from early April through June, Giampietro said.

“Coincidently on the same nights two of the motorcycles were stolen we also had two vans stolen, which were recovered abandoned in Little Falls and Paterson just days [later],” he said.

Detectives who learned that one of the cycles was being sold online made an appointment, then watched Salcedo before he was arrested, Giampietro said.

Borough detectives then linked him to the other thefts as well, he said.

They arrested him at his home earlier today.

Salcedo was being held on $50,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail.
