Evanston Police Department officers responded to a report of theft in the 2200 block of Ridge Avenue Monday morning.

The 21-year-old male resident told officers that his bike, a navy blue Schwinn Sporterra valued at $300, had been stolen from his apartment building, EPD Cmdr. Ryan Glew said.

The victim secured his bike to a stair post in the building at around 2 p.m. on Mar. 18, Glew said. The bike was missing by the time the victim returned to the apartment building at 10:30 a.m. on April 1, Glew said, along with a Kryptonite brand U-lock valued at $40.

Glew said there was no surveillance of the area and police do not have a suspect in custody.

A cell phone was stolen from a home Monday night, Glew said.

The victim, a 60-year-old male resident, told officers that his LG smartphone, valued at $100, had been stolen from his home in the 1400 block of Chicago Avenue, Glew said. The resident had gone to bed around 7:30 p.m., Glew said, and awoke around 11:30 p.m. to find the cell phone missing.
