A couple of minutes later, that’s precisely what occurred: a thief rode off on one of many bicycles.
The pair went again outdoors and phoned police to report the crime. When an officer confirmed up, he parked his cruiser outdoors the Bruce Avenue aspect entrance to our constructing — the place issues obtained much more attention-grabbing.
As the 2 males chatted with the cop, one other police scene unfolded only a few meters away.
A plainclothes officer — in a completely unrelated occasion — pulled over a automotive on Bruce Avenue and arrested an individual inside. It’s not clear what led to the arrest or if the individual faces prices.
The story doesn’t finish there. Across the nook on Queen Avenue, the place the 2 males initially parked their bikes, one other thief hopped on the second bicycle and rode away — proper previous the officer and the 2 males.
