Stolen Bicycle Recovered In Fairfax

FAIRFAX, CA – A routine patrol resulted in an arrest and the recovery of a stolen bicycle early Thursday in Fairfax.

According to the Fairfax Police Department, Officer Daniel Boyd was patrolling the community when he saw two people riding bicycles and "acting suspiciously" around 5:30 a.m. in the 700 block of Center Blvd.

After approaching the pair, the officer learned that one of the subjects, who had no permanent address, was currently on probation with a "lengthy arrest history" in Marin County, Fairfax Police Chief Christopher Morin said. The bicycle the man was riding had also been reported stolen to the Ross Police Department.

Denis Blaikie, 47, a former resident of Fairfax, was arrested on suspicion of possessing stolen property and violating probation.

"I was pleased to learn of this upon arriving to work this morning and commend Officer Boyd for always being alert during his nightshift patrols while the town sleeps," Morin said.
