Stolen Bike Recoveries
South Simcoe Police recovered three stolen bikes in two hours on Thursday. In one instance, officers on patrol located a male riding a bicycle matching the description of one stolen earlier that morning. A 53-year-old Brampton man was arrested and charged with theft under $5,000 and possession of property obtained by crime.
While arresting that individual, another male rode past on a bicycle reported stolen earlier in the week. A 55-year-old man with no fixed address was arrested and charged similarly.
