************************
On Oct. 3, 2018, at approximately 4:40 p.m., Guelph Police were called to a business on Woodlawn Road in regard to a mother and daughter shoplifting.
The duo was observed (allegedly) shoplifting several items that totalled over $1,600. The daughter then left the store to retrieve the vehicle while her mother waited at the entrance. When the vehicle pulled up, the mother left the store and was approached by loss prevention.

Her daughter, Jenna Miller, a 21-year-old London female turned herself into police a short time later and was charged with theft under $5,000 and escape lawful custody.
The mother/daughter duo with appear in court on Nov. 16, 2018.
