A 33-year-old Chatham man was arrested and charged last night after he was found running with meat reported stolen from the Sobeys store on Park Avenue West.
Police were called to the store after the man concealed several packages of meat and exited the store without making any attempt to pay for them. Total value of the meat was estimated at $200.
An alert CKPS officer observed a man running across Lacroix Street with meat in his hand. He has been charged with theft under $5000 and possession of property obtained by a crime under $5000.
He has been held in custody pending a bail hearing.
