Detective Mark Wyka and Detective Sgt. Nick Snyder found the Facebook ad and got in touch with Jordan Meyers, 23, asking to see the bicycles, Sgt. Brian Metzler said.

Meyers arranged to meet them at a Wagaraw Road business, then ran after he realized they were police, Metzler said.

The detectives chased down Meyers and charged him with two counts of theft and with hindering his arrest.

Detective Brian Rykema, who was investigating the pirated packages on Raymond Street, charged him with two more theft counts.

Meyers was released pending court action on the charges.
