Brussels (The Brussels Morning Newspaper): In the possession of a stolen bicycle and cannabis he was arrested in Brussels. His house was searched by police who found seven more stolen bicycles and also drugs. The investigation is today. He was released on bail while awaiting further consultations.
The Police in Brussels had come across a man familiar to them as a bicycle thief riding a high-end bike. As he failed to produce any documents for the bicycle when they requested one he raised suspicion in them about whether the bicycle belonged to him or not. Things turned even worse. They discovered cannabis in the pocket of this man besides the case of the bicycle. Now the public prosecutors office is working on the case which could spell more trouble for the man.
