 BY IAN CROUCH

Port Stephens Police have arrested a man allegedly in possession of a stolen electric bicycle overnight.

It comes after a spate of bike thefts in the area in recent weeks.

Officers stopped the man in his 40's in the Industrial Area at Taylors Beach just before 9.30pm on Tuesday.

A search of the man allegedly uncovered a small amount of cannabis.

He's expected to be issued with a summons to attend Raymond Terrace Local Court at a later date charged with theft and drug possession.
