Absolutely. Theft is one of the crimes they can arrest without warrant even without witnessing.

Can the LEO arrest, take into custody even stop and question the weird guy? Since I did not see with the bicycle but my wife did see him with it can she arrest him? Do we just have to go down to the police station, fill out a report, wait for a judge to issue a warrant, and hope the weird guy hasn't left town or sold the bicycle before then.
