The operation was conducted in early 2026, with the suspects using social media platforms to locate dirt bikes advertised for sale, analyze photos in listings to identify their storage locations and target them for theft. The suspects were identified as three individuals who attempted to access the targeted unit using burglary tools. The individuals were charged with various offenses including criminal mischief and possession of a weapon. The vehicle used in the operation was reported stolen from New York City and contained an altered vehicle identification number.
