A suspect in a liquor store break-in on Boxing Day in Sydney, N.S., was nabbed by police while making his getaway on a bicycle.
A 19-year-old male will be in Sydney provincial court Tuesday to face charges of breaking and entering and possession of stolen property from the Welton Street liquor store.
When Cape Breton Regional Police responded to the call Saturday evening, they were told the suspect was fleeing the scene on a bike. He was caught with a bag containing three bottles of liquor.
