RCMP looking for suspect in massive meat theft

Selkirk RCMP are looking for a man they say stole over $2,000 worth of meat from the Safeway in Selkirk – using the store’s own dolly to assist in the heist.

Police were called to the store around 9:30 p.m. on July 25 after a man entered the store and stole the frozen goods. A spokesperson from Safeway told Global News the suspect entered a backroom meat and seafood cooler, and stacked up to 130 packages of meat onto a staff dolly and rolled it out the back emergency door.
