SWEET SMELL OF THEFT AT SHOPPERS DRUG MART

HUNTSVILLE — If you smell a man a mile away, he may be wanted for theft.

Police are investigating a caper that stinks.

They are looking for a shoplifting suspect who went to the Shoppers Drug Mart on King William Street yesterday, Sunday March 28, where $300 in men’s cologne was stolen.

They say he fled on foot when confronted by staff.

Police released the attached image of the suspect.

And though not a very good photo (it reminds one of Edvard Munch’s Scream painting), it shows the man wearing a black, purple and white FXR snowmobile jacket with its hood up on his head, blue jeans and black winter boots.

The OPP is asking anyone with information about this occurrence to please contact the Huntsville OPP Detachment at 705-789-5551 or the OPP Provincial Communication Centre at 1-888-310-1122.

You can also provide information anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers of Simcoe Dufferin Muskoka at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at ontariocrimestoppers.ca. When you contact Crime Stoppers you stay anonymous, you never have to testify, and you could receive a cash reward of up to $2,000 upon arrest.
