Halifax Regional Police is requesting the public’s assistance in locating the individual(s) responsible for stealing an electric bicycle from the Angus L. Macdonald bridge on September 10.
At 5:30 p.m., the owner of the bicycle was travelling on the Angus L. Macdonald bridge when he sustained a flat tire. The owner left the bicycle mid-span on the bridge and left to get a spare tire. When he returned at 6:40 p.m., the bicycle was gone.
The bicycle is described as a Yuba cargo utility electric bicycle. The bicycle is black and has a grey cargo tote containing batteries above the rear wheel. It is also very heavy, weighing over 120 lbs. Given the flat tire, weight and location of the bicycle when stolen, officers believe that motorists may have seen the suspect(s) removing the bicycle. There is no description of the suspect(s) at this time.
Anyone with information on the location of this bicycle or on the identity of the suspect(s) is asked to contact police at 490-5016.
