Charges laid after stolen motorcycle found with homemade license plate

Kingston Police discovered the motorcycle at a gas station in the north end of the city.

A homemade license plate proved to be a dead giveaway for Kingston Police.

Members of the Community-Oriented Response and Enforcement unit were conducting patrol in the north end of the city last Friday.

They noticed a motorcycle at a gas station with a license plate that appeared to have been hand-written.

Investigators say the motorcyclist was seen walking away from the motorcycle after noticing the police officers.

A further investigation revealed that the motorcycle was reported stolen.

Officers went in and arrested the individual.

A 35-year-old from Kingston is facing a number of charges and was held for a bail hearing.

The stolen bike was later returned to its rightful owner.
