A Winnipeg man is in custody after allegedly stealing more than $10,000 of meat across more than 30 shoplifting incidents, police say.
The suspect, 32, was initially arrested in June as part of investigation into 11 shoplifting incidents across the city, in which more than $3,000 in merchandise — primarily meat, police said — was stolen.
The man was charged with 11 counts of theft under $5,000, as well as a pair of warrants for failing to attend court.
