Man arrested following multi-bicycle theft

A man from Winkler had more than just a spare bike tire, leading to a call to the RCMP. 

According to an RCMP weekly press report, on October 26th, the Portage RCMP received a report of a male taking apart bicycles in the alley of the 100 block of Saskatchewan Avenue West. When officers arrived, they located a man with three bicycles.

Police then detained the man to check if the bikes were his. An arrest quickly followed as the bikes were confirmed to be stolen.

The 42-year-old man from Winkler was arrested for Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Under $5,000.00. He was released to appear in court at a later date.
