Following a recent bike theft, Salmon Arm RCMP are reminding cyclists to keep their bikes locked up.
On Friday, Feb. 10 at around 9:30 a.m., Salmon Arm RCMP were called to a local mall. An e-bike was parked outside the mall entrance, not locked up, and the cyclist called RCMP when they came outside and found the bike was missing.
Police found the bike a few blocks away and recovered it.
A man was arrested and detained for a short time, then was later released.
Staff Sgt. Scott West reminds cyclists to lock up all bikes, including e-bikes, mountain bikes and even children’s bikes.
