A 30-year-old man is facing shoplifting-related charges at two Orillia business.
OPP investigated Wednesday after getting a call at 5 pm from a Mississaga Street business reporting a man had just stolen items and left the store but was still in the area. Officers searched for him but didn’t find him at first.
The next day, just before 3:30 pm, police got another call about the same man shoplifting at a Murphy Road business.
Again, he’d left the store before police got there, but police found him nearby a little while later.
The suspect, who is from Orillia, was arrested and stolen items were recovered.
The man’s been charged with two counts of theft under $5,000 and two counts of failing to comply with probation.
He’s scheduled today for a bail hearing in Barrie.
