Hamilton police searching for trike reported stolen from apartment complex garage

Hamilton police are searching for an adult tricycle that was reported stolen in late October.

Police say the reported theft of the trike, which belongs to a man with “limited mobility,” was targeted.

According to investigators, a man with some sort of cutting tool slipped through the garage doors at Olympia Apartments at 150 Charlton Ave. and cut off two locks attached to the trike.

“We are unclear if bolt cutters were used but the locks were compromised,” Const. Lorraine Edwards told Global News, “We have the locks and you can see they’ve been cut.”

During a review of security cam footage, detectives say the suspect kept the garage doors open by blocking its sensors and rode the bike out.

Police say the reportedly stolen trike is a Schwinn Meridian Adult Comfort Trike and was taken shortly after 12:30 a.m. on Oct. 28.
