KAWARTHA LAKES-The wheels of justice turn a little bit differently in Kawartha Lakes.
When a young boy in Lindsay had his bike stolen and found damaged police and a local bike shop rode in to save the day.
On September 11th, 2017 police received a call that 8 year old Jacob’s bike had been stolen. P.C. Brendan Johnston went to Jacob’s home where it was learned that another young boy had come into possession of the bike but when it was returned the bike was found to be broken to the point that it was not usable. After unsuccessful attempts were made to have the bike repaired P.C. Johnston took matters into his own hands.
PC Johnston says he knew that the owners of the downtown bicycle shop, Down to Earth Adventure Outfitters, were always willing to help out, so he took the bicycle to them to see if it could be fixed. Within several days the owners of Down to Earth called to say the bicycle had been fixed and when the officer arrived to pick up the bike they would not take any payment for the repairs.
On Wednesday, October 4th, 2017 Jacob was called to Police station to pick up his newly repaired bike.
“Enjoy your ride Jacob and many thanksvto the great folks at Down to Earth” a post on the police web site stated.
