A local business called the Weyburn Police Service last week after a man was found to be stealing items. After being confronted, he fled on foot. Deputy Chief Shane St. John says the description provided allowed them to locate the man rather quickly.
“It's a subject that's been around, causes a few issues here and there, but stole some items from a store. The description gave the members had a pretty good idea who it was, and they did find this individual walking down the highway.”
The business owner had video footage; however, officers were able to identify and locate him without it. The arrest was made without incident as officers found him with the stolen items still on him.
“He did have the property on him, so he was arrested without incident and released on conditions, of course, not to go back to that business.”
