Suspect arrested following theft of motorcycle

The Hanover Police Service has arrested one suspect after a motorcycle theft.

On June 5 around 2:20 p.m. police allege that a male suspect stole a 1993 Harley Davidson motorcycle that was parked in front of a business on 10th Street in Hanover.

Officers determined that the suspect was a 40-year-old male of no fixed address who is known to police.

After allegedly stealing the motorcycle, investigators say the man drove through the downtown core of Hanover at speeds exceeding 100 km/h while weaving through traffic and riding the yellow line, nearly crashing with oncoming traffic numerous times.

A suspect was later arrested by West Grey Police Service at a residence in West Grey after police got a call from the homeowner that the suspect was there.

As a result, a40-year-old was arrested and charged with theft of a motor vehicle, three counts of dangerous driving, and other probation related charges.

He was held in custody and later remanded into the provincial jail system at his bail hearing. The motorcycle has since been returned to the registered owner.

Hanover Police are asking individuals and businesses with surveillance footage on June 5 between 2:20 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. The suspect was wearing a black open face helmet and a white tank top at the time.

If you have any video or information contact Hanover Police Service or Crime Stoppers.
