TRIBECA — Two bicycles, each worth $900, were stolen from a TriBeCa street corner, after a thief unscrewed scaffolding bars to remove the locks, police said.

Police said the bikes' owner, a 38-year-old TriBeCa woman, had secured her two Biria Bicycles to a scaffolding bar outside of 395 Broadway on Sept. 24, at about 10 p.m.

When she returned the next morning, at about 8:00 a.m., both her bikes and the lock were missing — with the scaffolding bar on the ground, unhinged.

Police were still investigating the incident.
