Five people have been sentenced for a motorcycle theft scheme that targeted the 2024 Ocean City BikeFest event.
According to the Maryland Office of the Attorney General, the convictions follow a multi-jurisdictional investigation into a coordinated motorcycle theft enterprise operating across Worcester, Anne Arundel, Baltimore and Prince George’s counties, as well as in portions of Virginia and Pennsylvania.
The investigation revealed that the five individuals formed a criminal organization and were linked to at least 19 high-value, stolen motorcycles – primarily Harley-Davidson models – from dealerships and large-scale motorcycle events.
The group specifically targeted the custom motorcycles of attendees at the 2024 Ocean City BikeFest.
“I want to commend our detectives and intelligence unit for their exceptional work on this case. Their dedication, attention to detail, and ability to collaborate seamlessly with our law enforcement partners in neighboring jurisdictions, Worcester County State’s Attorney Kris Heiser, and the Office of the Attorney General of Maryland to ensure this.
