A NORTH Vancouver
woman who recently criti-
cized the police for inaction
concerning the theft of tree
mountain bikes from her
family found out on Wed-
nesday that the North
Vancouver RCMP _ had
located her son’s bike.

By Anna Marie D’ Angelo
News Reporter

Betty Blezard said the bike was
recovered in the Maplewood area,
east of the Second Narrows
Bridge.

She said the police matched the
bike by description only, without
the benefit of a serial number.

The youngster’s bike had been
stolen along with Blezard’s bike
on Aug. 31. Her husband’s bike
was stolen on Aug. 27.

All three bikes were unlocked
and located near the front door of
Blezard’s co-op townhouse on
Hamber Place in the Mount
Seymour Road area when they
were stolen.

Blezard estimated that 10
children and six adults had had
their bikes stolen near her home in
a recent two-week period.

Blezard had an overwhelming
response to a Sunday, Sept. 5

RCMP locate one of three bikes
stolen from N. Vancouver family

News article, in which she ex-
pressed concerns about the bike
thefts,

She was angry over what she
viewed as the police’s poor
response to the situation.

Said Blezard on Thursday, ‘‘So
many people have been phoning
me about having their bikes
stolen, It seems like it is happen-
ing a lot in the (Deep) Cove
area,”

Before her son’s bike was
found, Blezard said the police ref-
used to try to match the descrip-
tions of her family’s bikes with
recovered stolen bikes. ;

She said it wasn’t police policy
fo allow residents to look at re-
covered bikes in storage. :

North Vancouver RCMP Const.
Mare Boland said he was not
aware that the Deep Cove area
had more bike thefts than other
areas of North Vancouver.

He described the number of
bikes stolen in North Vancouver
as “unbelievable.’’

Boland said serial numbers were
required so that missing bikes
could be listed in the police com-
puter,

“We have a warehouse of about
200 bikes, We aren’t going to give
one to somebody because it looks
like their bike. A person must be
able to positively identify it some-
how,” said Boland.

He said police act on reported
