Police have posted the video on their facebook page showing the suspects pulling up to a 1995 Yamaha blue-purple motorcycle in the parking lot of the Red Roof Inn overnight on September 27, stuffing the bike in the back of a U-Haul box truck the four suspects tried to disguise with a black cloth, and driving off even before the tailgate was closed.

The film was apparently shot by someone in a room at the Red Roof Inn, who provides a brief play-by-play of the incident.

The witness says one of the four suspects was wearing white sneakers and blue jeans two others are dressed "all in black". You cannot see the driver of the van that motors away with the back still open and the passenger in front still closing the cab door.

Anyone with information is asked to call Village Police at (607) 729-9321.
