Bicycle Bandit Strikes Again in Meridian

Meridian, MS — The elusive "Bicycle Bandit" has struck once more, targeting the same location along North Frontage Road in the early hours of this morning.

Around 3:15 a.m., the suspect was caught on surveillance video making multiple trips behind businesses in the area. The bandit was seen loading lumber onto a bicycle, then pedaling away with the stolen materials.

This marks at least the second incident at the construction site where the old Econo Lodge Motel once stood. In a strange twist, footage also shows the bandit riding past the site in broad daylight, possibly surveying the area before returning under cover of darkness.
