Thief who practised ‘take more, pay for less’ nabbed, freed

A male is facing several charges after committing thefts at multiple hardware stores across Durham Region, police reports.

Between October to December last year, the suspect attended the Home Depot stores located at 1700 Victoria Street East in Whitby, and 120 Clarington Boulevard in Bowmanville, where he stole home insulation.

The suspect gathered numerous home insulation packages, but only scanned and paid for a few before exiting the store.

On Thursday, January 8, investigators from the East Division Criminal Investigation Branch took the suspect into custody without incident.

The 48-year old man from Coburg was released on an undertaking. Name and further details available at www.drps.ca.
