Waterloo Regional Police have released video of two suspects linked to alleged thefts at a Waterloo restaurant.
Police say an 18-year-old was having dinner at a restaurant on Albert Street at around 9:20 p.m. on Nov. 7 when he left the table briefly.
They allege a man snatched the 18-year-old’s Moose Knuckle winter jacket containing his personal belongings and took off. The suspect was last spotted running east on University Avenue, according to police.
