A woman is facing multiple charges in connection with three separate thefts of poppy boxes in Burlington.
Halton police say one of the thefts was at a grocery store in Burlington during a moment of silence to remember veterans.
Investigators believe the first robbery happened on Nov. 11 at a grocery store on New Street, when a suspect took a Royal Canadian Legion donation box, concealed it on her person, and stood for the remainder of the moment of silence before leaving the store.
