"In the videos, it appears as if the suspects planted a bicycle in the front yard of their residence, unsecured, and waited for someone to try and steal the bicycle," police said in a written statement.

  "Once someone tried to steal the bike, the suspects would rush from the house and assault the individual with a baseball bat."
