The saga of Igor Kenk is ballooning into one of urban myth proportions. What began as a police bike-bait sting on the streets of Toronto is turning into a drug probe.
As Kenk, a self-proclaimed former Slovenian police officer, waited for his bail hearing to begin yesterday at Old City Hall on numerous bike theft charges, police charged him with four more drug offences, bringing the total to 21.
That’s after more than six kilograms of marijuana were found rammed among bikes in two garages, on Dufferin Street and Dovercourt Road. Previous police seizures included marijuana and 85 grams of crack cocaine and cocaine powder from the Yorkville home Kenk shares with his wife, concert pianist Jeanie Chung, said Det.-Const. Aaron Dennis.
Kenk made a brief appearance in bail court before he was sent to a special court because of the long list of charges. A publication ban has been placed on the evidence heard.
