Braintree, MA - Two men, including one from Braintree were arrested for stealing a bike from a train station after the victim found it for sale online, police said.

Patrick Concannon, 28, of Braintree and Terry Carter, 28, of Boston were both arrested and charged with receiving stolen property.

Monday evening at South Station, the victim of a bike theft at the Back Bay station told transit police that he located his bike on Craigslist. The victim agreed to buy the bike, with the transaction to take place at the train station's Red Line entrance.
