ORIGINAL

Around 4:20 a.m. on August 31, 2020, a Break and Enter occurred at a business on the Kingsway where a red 2017 Honda CRF motor bike (image attached) was stolen. At the time it was taken from the business, the bike had a licence plate of 2J7M4.

Just before 10:30 a.m. information was received that a bike matching that description was seen in the area of Murray Street. Officers began patrolling the area and saw the bike being driven on King Street where it entered a wooded area. The driver and the bike were then seen on Mountain Street where it proceeded to towards the Adanac Ski Hill where Officers lost sight of it.

Then at 10:50 a.m. we received a call regarding a motor vehicle collision involving what was believed to be the same bike behind an establishment on Notre Dame Avenue. The information provided was that two individuals were on the bike when it collided with a parked car. Both individuals on the bike got up and left the area with the bike prior to Police arrival.

A short time later we received a call regarding a bike matching the description being operated at a high speed on MR35 towards Chelmsford.

In all instances the driver has been described as being White with a thin build and facial hair.

Due to the reckless driving behaviour exhibited by the individual operating the motor bike and the anticipation that further criminal acts will be committed using the bike or by the driver of the bike, we are requesting the Public’s assistance to locate the stolen vehicle, as well as, identify the driver. Anyone with information related to the bike and the driver is asked to contact us at 705-675-9171 or Crime Stoppers at 705-222-8477 or online at www.sudburycrimestoppers.com
