Sault Police say a thief stole a bicycle from a London Street shed — then went back to swipe a second one. 

The break-in occurred on May 31 but the suspect was not located until yesterday, when officers attended an unrelated call in the area of Farwell Terrace and Korah Road.

Charles Shaw, 55, was arrested on the strength of a warrant and charged with break and enter and theft under $5,000.

He was held in custody pending a bail hearing.

None of the allegations have been tested in court and Shaw is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
