Vancouver police have arrested a 39-year-old man in connection with the theft of late IndyCar driver Greg Moore’s helmet.
The helmet was stolen from the BC Sports Hall of Fame at BC Place on Sept. 3 and was on loan there from the Moore family.
It was part of an exhibit documenting the career of the late IndyCar driver, who died at age 24 during a race in California, and who wore the helmet during his 1998 victory at the Rio 400 in Brazil.
