THREE BIKE THEFT ARRESTS MADE

South Simcoe Police had a good stolen bike recovery rate on Thursday after receiving a report of a bicycle that was stolen earlier that morning.

Later that day, police received another call that a bicycle reported stolen earlier in the week had been seen with a person riding it in the Holland St. W. area in Bradford West Gwillimbury.

At approximately 3:40 p.m., police said officers on proactive patrol on Holland St. E. located a male riding a bicycle matching the description of the one stolen earlier that morning.

As a result, a 53-year-old Brampton man was arrested and charged with theft under $5,000 and possession of property obtained by crime.

While officers were arresting the first individual, a second male rode past on another bicycle that had been reported stolen earlier in the week.

As a result, a 55-year-old man with no fixed address was arrested and charged with theft under $5,000 and possession of property obtained by crime.

Both recovered bicycles were returned to their grateful owners, cops said. One of the victims was a young teen who had saved money to purchase and accessorize the bicycle.

Later that same day, at approximately 5 p.m., another bicycle stop occurred further on Holland St. W., cops said.

In a twist of irony, officers were in the area during the South Simcoe Police Service’s annual Bike Rodeo event at a Canadian Tire when they observed a male riding a bicycle through the parking lot carrying a large duffel bag.

Officers recognized the individual as matching the description of a suspect wanted on outstanding arrest warrants held by York Regional Police and the North Bay Police Service. As a result, a 58-year-old Bradford man was arrested on the strength of those warrants.
