SALMON ARM, B.C. — One man was arrested after being seen in possession of a stolen mountain bike by an off-duty Salmon Arm RCMP officer.
On Wednesday (June 5) RCMP say a man reported his Santa Cruz mountain bike, valued at $6,000, was stolen after being left unsecured outside an office building in the 800-block of 16th Street NE. In a news release issued Sunday (June 9), RCMP say officers attended and spoke with staff, although there were no witnesses to the theft. The owner provided pictures and a detailed description of the stolen bike.
On Friday at around 1:15 p.m., Salmon Arm RCMP say an off-duty officer who was out for a walk told his on-duty colleagues that he believed he saw a man riding the stolen Santa Cruz bike.
On-duty officers arrived and arrested a 55-year-old man for possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
