Eye Weekly reports that Toronto police nab a douchebag bike thief who bought and sold stolen bikes.

Igor Kenk. Among the cycling community, he’s long been notorious for rumours that he buys and sells stolen bikes out of his Queen West shop. Now we all know just how well deserved that notoriety likely was, after he was arrested by Toronto police this week and charged with theft. In his shop, and in several storage locations around the city, it appears he may have had more than 2,000 stolen bikes in his possession. The charges he faces indicate that his operation was a driving force behind Toronto’s reputation as the bike-theft capital of North America.
