NORTH BATTLEFORD, Sask. – An alleged shoplifter has been nabbed. North Battleford RCMP believe he is the individual responsible for at least four thefts in the city over the past couple of days.

In each case, a man entered a business and asked to see some expensive items that were locked. He would then ask to see additional products and while the employee was distracted, flee with the initial item he had asked to see.
