On Sunday, August 15th, after midnight a patrol member observed a 26 year old male riding a black BMX bicycle with no helmet and no lights. The cyclist was carrying two large sports bags on his handlebars, a hoodie pulled over his head and his mouth and nose was covered with a bandana. The cyclist was informed that he was being stopped under the motor vehicle act for not wearing his helmet and not having lights. The male initially provided a false name and then attempted to flee the scene on his bicycle. The male was arrested for two outstanding warrants and breaching seven of his conditions on his Probation Order. A search incident to the lawful arrest produced a concealed 26” sword down his pants, break and enter tools along with a debit card that did not belong to him. It is believed that the BMX bike he was riding was stolen. Additional criminal charges were also forwarded to Crown Counsel:

– Possession of Controlled Substance (suspected to be methamphetamine)
– Possession of a Weapon for Dangerous Purpose
– Carrying a Concealed Weapon
– Obstruction (providing a false name)
– Possession of Break and Enter Tools
– Possession of Property Obtained by Crime

The male was held in custody for morning court.
