A man arrested for shoplifting on the north side of Belleville on Sunday was picked up for the same crime less than 24 hours later.

Belleville Police responded Monday afternoon to a business on Bell Blvd where staff reported a shoplifter they were familiar with from previous incidents.

The man fled on a bicycle.

Police located the suspect on North Front Street and realized he had been arrested and charged with the same offense at another store Sunday evening.

Malachi Warner, 20, of no fixed address, was charged with theft under $5,000 and violation of probation.

He was held for a bail hearing.
