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.
B!KE’s mission is to teach people to maintain, repair and ride their bikes and to advocate for people on two-wheelers.
Police eventually identified a suspect and made an arrest on Monday.
The 17-year-old — who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act — has been charged with break and enter, mischief over $5,000 and failure to comply with a sentence.
The youth was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court on May 28.
