A York Region couple face charges after someone dropped an alarm jammer while stealing thousands of dollars in product from a Guelph business.
Just before 4 p.m. Tuesday, police were called to a business on Woodlawn Road West. A loss prevention officer had observed a male and female placing medication, fragrances and toiletries into backpacks stolen from the store. While attempting to leave the business the male dropped a jammer device used to prevent anti-theft alarms from sounding.
Officers arrested both parties, recovering more than $3,200 in stolen property.
Further investigation revealed they were also responsible for a similar theft at the same store in March during which nearly $4,400 worth of items were stolen.
A 25-year-old man and 25-year-old woman, both from Maple, are charge with two counts each of theft under $5,000.
