A Brampton man has been arrested for stealing approximately $8,000 worth of goods from a Guelph store earlier this year.

On January 28, two males entered a business on Woodlawn Road West. One of the males left the store with a cart containing six Milwaukee blower units, each valued at $398. He then re-entered the store and met up with the second male and together they left with a cart loaded with electrical supplies.

All merchandise was loaded into a waiting white cargo van with a third suspect. The total loss was estimated at $8,000. Staff of the business recognized the two males who entered the store as they are suspects in a number of thefts across Ontario. Both are currently on release orders with conditions not to be together.

On Wednesday, one of the males was arrested by another police service and returned to Guelph. A 32-year-old Brampton man is charged with theft over $5,000 and failing to comply with a release order.
