EAST RIDGE, Tenn. (WDEF) — East Ridge police are asking for the public’s help in locating two robbery suspects who allegedly stole a motorcycle Tuesday night.

Around 9:10 p.m. June 24, 2025, police say a man and woman forcibly took a small, black and yellow Suzuki dirt bike from another person.

Officers found that a juvenile male had been riding a black and yellow Suzuki dirt bike when he was attacked.

Witnesses told police they saw a red Kia Soul in the area just before the incident.

The vehicle, described as an older model without a luggage rack, was being driven by a woman with a male passenger.

Investigators say the Kia intentionally struck the juvenile’s bike, causing him to fall.

The male passenger then got out, hit the victim in the head with a handgun, and forcibly took the dirt bike.

The suspect was last seen riding the stolen bike southbound on Prigmore Road, with the Kia Soul following close behind.

The East Ridge Police Department (ERPD) described the male suspect as white, thin, with blonde hair and a tattoo above his right eye.

The female suspect is also white, with brown hair and a slender build.

A photo of the stolen motorcycle has been released to help identify the vehicle.

ERPD urges anyone who may have seen the vehicle or suspects to contact their office.
