Duluth man charged in connection with hockey stick theft

Cole Allen Saice now faces felony aid and abet attempted theft in connection with the hockey stick theft from last weekend.

The complaint said there is video surveillance showing Saice walking away from the team’s bus with a large bag on Saturday the 28th. The bus had been parked by the Holiday Inn downtown.

According to the complaint, about 40 sticks had been in the bag, and were worth about $12,000.

The Mankato West team notified police about the theft after they showed up at their game at the Heritage Center on Saturday morning, and couldn’t find their sticks.

Saice did speak with authorities, but the complaint does not outline a reason for the theft.

Some of the sticks have been recovered.
