News 12 viewer Tommy Leggieri had his own bike stolen as a kid.
He reached out to the family after seeing News 12's story Sept. 8 and donated a new SoCal Flyer bike Sunday to replace the one that was taken.
The boy’s mother says she’s beyond grateful and thanked Leggieri, who’s from Middletown.
“I think it was a shock,” said Leggieri. “I put a smile on his face and that’s all that matters. You can tell he’s a good kid.”
Washingtonville police are investigating the bike theft and say there’s been a recent spike in stolen bicycles in the area.
Anyone with information is asked to call Washingtonville police at 845-496-9123.
