Toddler bike found near canal, no longer welfare concern

UPDATE: Deputies have located the owner of the bike, and there are no further welfare concerns at this time.

ORIGINAL:

Thursday afternoon the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office located a small green toddler bike near a canal at 45th E. and Lincoln Road in Idaho Falls.

Deputies searched the canal and nearby area and weren’t able to locate the bike’s owner; however, deputies have a welfare concern since it was located near the canal.

At this time the sheriff’s office has not received any reports of missing people or children and would like the owner of this bike and/or parents to contact the Sheriff’s Office through dispatch at 208-529-1200 as soon as possible so they can verify your welfare and eliminate any concern.

Some residents in that area may have already received a CodeRED call alert asking for this same information.
