THUNDER BAY — Police have laid charges in connection with a shoplifting spree that saw the same business targeted 30 times over a period of six months.
Details of the case were revealed by police Tuesday.
The Thunder Bay Police Service said officers responded Monday afternoon to a report of a theft from a business in the 300 block of Main Street, where the Thunder Centre retail complex is located.
They identified a female suspect believed to have been involved in 29 previous incidents at the same store.
Members of the break-and-enter and robbery unit located her in the vicinity a short time later and took her into custody.
The 33-year-old woman is charged with 30 counts of theft under $5,000.
She made her initial appearance in court on Tuesday.
It is Newswatch policy not to name people facing criminal accusations when we are unlikely to follow the case to its conclusion in the courts.
