A 17-year-old Peterborough teen has been arrested in connection with last month’s break and enter at a downtown bike shop.
Police say sometime between April 21 and April 22, a suspect broke through a secure door at B!ke, a community bike shop on George Street North.
The suspect spray painted walls, ceilings, floors, bikes and merchandise, causing approximately $10,000 in damage. A bike was also stolen.
