111 stolen bicyles found hidden in pensioner's two-roomed apartment

A man in his seventies has been arrested after police found more than a hundred bicycles in his apartment in Vadstena in central Sweden.

Police in the area say they discovered a hundred and one cycles in the elderly man's two room apartment, with ten others located in a storage room.



Officers had been called to the flat to question the man in connection with another crime. They are now trying to trace the owners of the bikes. Local police chief Frida Braf said that this would "not be easy and will take time".

Three investigators are working on the case, noting, among other things, model, chassis number and other markings. The suspect is currently on bail after being questioned on Monday. "He said he found the bikes at various locations in the country and cycled home with them," said Braf.
