BIKE STOLEN

A young man didn't have much time on the outside after he was allegedly caught trying to steal a bicycle, just hours after being released from custody.

At about 8:30 p.m. on Nov. 17, the 21-year-old was seen acting suspiciously near Westwood Street and Christmas Way, according to Coquitlam RCMP. Officers watched as he approached a mountain bike locked to a sign post and quickly cut through the lock.

He was attempting to ride away when police intervened and then chased him on foot before arresting him.

Cody Stone remains in custody and is due back in court on Nov. 28.
