A Guelph couple face a variety of charges following a shoplifting arrest Saturday afternoon.
Officers responded to a business on Silvercreek Parkway around 4:30 p.m. after staff recognized a pair of people from a previous theft.
As officers were arriving, they said they saw the pair pushing a cart loaded with more than $1,200 in property from the store.
They said the pair tried to flee but were found a short distance away after a brief chase on foot.
