Suspicious online sales  lead police to a  high-end stolen  bike depot and a  crime shop.
Two men were arrested  as part of an investigation that began earlier this month when members of the Online Stolen  Goods (OSP) unit  saw a  bike for sale  online that had been stolen from a downtown apartment complex in  September.
"The bike was registered with Bike Index and was also  reported as stolen on the program's website, making it easier for our officers to  identify it," CPS said in a news release Thursday.

"The OSP team began  an investigation and on Wednesday  ... officers  located the bicycle and returned it to its rightful  owner."
Rochsarg Buquel, 27, of Calgary, is charged with possession of stolen property and trafficking  in stolen  property. His next court appearance is scheduled for  February. 24.
The ongoing investigation  led police  to execute a search warrant at a home in the 100 block of Manora Hill  NE on Jan. 23, where they  found a  suspicious bicycle  repair shop.
"During the search, officers located and seized 11 high-end bicycles valued at approximately $70,000, as well as two replica firearms, ammunition and approximately 18 grams of methamphetamine,"  CPS said.
Juan Castillo Pasion, 64, of Calgary, is charged with trafficking in stolen property and possession of stolen property over  $5,000. He also  faces charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of a prohibited weapon and two counts of possession of ammunition while  prohibited.
Pasion's next court appearance is scheduled for  January 30.
Police are hoping to reunite Calgarians with their stolen  bikes, which can be  seen on the CPS Facebook page. Rightful owners can contact police at  recoveryproperty@calgarypolice.ca. Cyclists are also  encouraged to register their bikes  with Bike Index, a free service that  facilitates the identification and  return of stolen goods.
