Motorcycle Thefts Lead to Pennsauken Man's Arrest

Three bikes were stolen from a Cherry Hill dealership, police said.

One of three men who were allegedly involved with the theft of three motorcycles from a Church Road dealership was arrested after two of the bikes were found just blocks away early Saturday morning, Cherry Hill Police said.

Sebastian Leonardo-Rowan, 21, admitted to breaking into Eckenhoff Automotive at Church and Haddonfield roads with two others, police said, and stealing the bikes, two of which were found around 3:16 a.m. on Lenape Road.

Officers who responded to the scene were able to link the motorcycles to the dealership by contacting the bikes' owners, who told police both had been in for service at Eckenhoff, police said. Signs of a burglary were evident, police said, and an investigation through the day Saturday led to officers identifying Leonardo-Rowan as one of the people involved.
