Guelph police say a 34-year-old woman has been charged after two poppy boxes were stolen in the city this week.
The first theft happened on Monday at a store near Eramosa Road and Stevenson Street, and the second happened on Tuesday at a store in the downtown core.
Police said in both cases a woman picked up the box, concealed it either in her coat or bag and left the store.
The accused was arrested at a business in the downtown core on Thursday morning, but a police spokesperson said the boxes and the money were not recovered.
