Barrie police are investigating after a locked e-bike was stolen outside a business on Bradford Street.
On Monday, officers received a report about the incident that happened on Thursday, October 5, between 10:10 a.m. and 10:20 a.m.
The e-bike - valued at over $3,300 - was left locked out in front of the business while the owner went into the store.
The Emmo Wild Pro model e-bike is described as black with 26” all-terrain fat tires.
"It would appear that e-bikes are being targeted by thieves and police are warning that one lock may not be enough to protect your investment," Barrie police wrote in a media release on Tuesday. "A second lock, removing the battery or disabling the bike are additional security options that should be considered."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Barrie Police Constable Graham by email at pgraham@barriepolice.ca. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
