VICTORIA -- Victoria community members are on the lookout for a stolen bike after it was allegedly stolen while its owner, a nurse, was administering COVID-19 vaccines.
The bike was reportedly stolen from a bike rack near the intersection of Douglas Street and Humboldt Street between noon and 4:20 p.m. on Tuesday.
The owner of the bicycle, Sara Wiwcharuk, was inside of the Victoria Conference Centre at the time administering vaccines, according to her partner, Brayden Wise.
The bike is described as a Trek Checkpoint 5 with black fenders, flashlight mounts on the handlebars, an adjustable stem from Mountain Equipment Co-op, pedals with shoe clips on one side and a padded bike seat.
The bicycle also has Gatorskin tires, a brass Presta-to-Schrader adapter on one of the valve stems, and fresh tape on the handlebars.
According to Wise, the bike is distinct and matches the provided picture's colours and stripes.
