FERGUS, Ont. — Provincial police say they're trying to identify a "clumsy shoplifting suspect," who is allegedly part of a shoplifting ring.
They allege a woman attempted to steal more than $650 worth of goods from a store in Fergus, Ont., on the evening of April 26.
Surveillance video released by the OPP shows a woman running from the store pushing a shopping cart, but she trips in the parking lot and the cart runs into a curb, spilling its contents.
The video shows the woman get up and sprint away as a store employee who had been chasing her stays with the overturned cart.
Police say store staff had recognized the woman, who was allegedly involved in an earlier theft of nearly $2,500 worth of products.
Investigators allege the woman was assisted in the thefts by two men and three women.
