Two jailed after stealing dirt bike in Franklin Twp.

Two men are in custody after they stole a dirt bike from a Franklin Township home Sunday afternoon.

Township police Chief Jason Doll said the incident occurred at 2:45 p.m. at a home on Rock Street.

Doll said police were called for a report of two men who showed up at the property, entered the shed, and removed a dirt bike.

He said the men were confronted by a juvenile on scene, but continued to load the dirt bike and left the scene.

Doll said an officer saw the vehicle at the Carbon Mini Mart in Lehighton, at which time it was stopped.

He said inside the vehicle were Michael Coleman, 40, of Franklin Township, and Anthony Riggio, 36, of Lehighton.

Doll said both men were taken into custody, and the dirt bike was recovered.

He said Coleman was arraigned, while Riggio had a warrant.

Doll said both men are being charged with burglary and theft.

They are incarcerated in the Carbon County Correctional Facility.
