Lexington police are closing in on a would-be motorcycle theft after a piece of surveillance video goes viral.
Brad Stinnett shared the surveillance video with LEX 18 of a man trying to take the bike but crashing into a wall at Central Kentucky Motorsports.
He said that it happened around 2:20 p.m. Wednesday in the 1000 block of East New Circle.

The video shows a man get on the bike and then slam into a wall. Stinnett chased after the man who was claiming to have been a victim of a hit-and-run. Stinnett said the man then hopped into a white truck and got away with an accomplice.
The video was shared to the LEX 18 Facebook page and the tips started flooding in.
“Literally, a guy said he was scrolling through Facebook he looked up and the guy was right in front of him on New Circle Road,” said Central Kentucky Motorsports Head Technician Derek Halsey.
Halsey said that the bike is likely totaled and the building will need thousands in repair, but he admits, the workers at the shop are enjoying what they call “instant karma”
“I think it’s pretty funny and everybody likes a little instant karma, you know. I think it’s great. I love it and everybody else does too,” he said before laughing.
