It’s alleged the suspect distracted the clerk in each instance before stealing sleeves of lottery tickets.
Members of the major crime unit went to a home in St. George, Manitoba on Saturday where they located and arrested a man.
Jonathan Roy Fitzsimmons, 29, faces 32 charges of theft under $5000, along with robbery and weapon offenses.
