Police seek suspect who brazenly stole meat from west-end Hamilton shop

Police say they’re seeking a suspect accused of taking close to a couple thousand of dollars in meat during a bold daytime walk-in theft at a Westdale shop last June.

The city’s robbery unit says the incident happened in broad daylight on Thursday, June 3 around noon and involved a lone man taking product from Hamilton Kosher Meats near King Street West and Longwood Road South

“While in the establishment, the suspect proceeded to open the large walk-in freezer and filled a garbage can with meat before fleeing the scene on foot,” Hamilton police told Global News in an email.

“The suspect stole approximately $1,700 to $1,800 worth of inventory.”

An image of the suspect has been released by investigators but no description of the man was revealed.

Anyone with information is being asked to reach out to detectives.
