The greatest bicycle thief in the world
This unfortunate title was awarded by the Canadian police to a man from Toronto, who broke a thief's record. In his warehouses were found more than 2800 stolen bicycles! 49-year-old Igor Kenk was until recently an ordinary, an unobtrusive owner of a bike shop with a beautiful name ”Bicycle Clinic”. He has recently become Toronto's most hated thief. Bicycle theft happens everywhere, but a plague of vanishing bicycles, which swept Toronto in June transcended all boundaries. When normally accepted methods have failed, the police decided to trick the mysterious thief. Officers placed bicycles on the streets and, hidden in the crowd of passers-by, waited for the development of events. Kenk and his accomplice were caught red-handed, when they tried to drive away on stolen vehicles. This is how the police reached ”Clinic” Igora Kenka. However, the view, which appeared to their eyes exceeded all expectations. The shop was so stuffed with bicycles, that the fire brigade needed help, to remove the bicycles on ropes.
Next 200 the bicycles were found in the house of the record-breaking thief. The rest of the 2865 the spoils were hidden in 10 garages rented by a man on the outskirts of the city. It is not known, why Kenk stored all stolen bikes. Police guess, that he could have waited for the metals market to boom and planned to sell large amounts of melted bicycles. Igor Kenk was released on bail 275 thousand. Canadian dollars. Currently awaiting trial, which is to take place in September. Will have to answer at least 58 allegations of theft, attempted theft, possession of stolen items and tools used for the break-in. Meanwhile, Toronto police are looking for owners of stolen vehicles.
