The RCMP has released information regarding two separate shoplifting incidents in the city last week.
On March 21st, just after 7:00 pm, Portage la Prairie RCMP were notified of a theft from a business in the 100 block of Saskatchewan Avenue West in Portage.
The report states that officers attended and arrested Troy Garnham, 29, of Portage.
Garnham was charged with Theft Under $5000.00 and appeared in court the next day.
Then just a couple of days later, at 10:30 p.m. on March 23rd, Portage RCMP received a call of shoplifting from a business in the 400 block of Saskatchewan Avenue East.
Officers arrived and arrested a 29-year-old man from Portage la Prairie. The suspect in this case faces charges of Theft Under $5000.
The man was released to appear in court at a later date.
