They say a store employee followed the woman outside into the parking lot area. That was when the employee was repeatedly punched in the face.
Investigators say the employee required medical attention for their injuries. The suspect fled but was later located and arrested by police.
They say not only did they recover items from the store but found items that were stolen from two other businesses nearby.
The 21-year-old will be in a Guelph court on June 23.
