‘Multiple packages of meat’ stolen in Guelph: police

A woman holds a package of ground beef.

Guelph Police are investigating after they say multiple packages of meat were reported stolen from a south-end business on Monday evening.

According to police, the incident occurred at approximately 5 p.m. Store security reported observing a female concealing several packages of beef under her arm before proceeding to a self-checkout and paying for other items, without attempting to pay for the meat.

When security attempted to stop the suspect, police say they denied having unpaid items and fled the store on foot.

The female is described as approximately 5′4″, white, with shoulder-length dark hair. At the time, she was wearing a red Canada Goose coat with the fur-lined good pulled up, black gloves, red and black plaid pants, grey leg warmers around both knees and purple winter boots with black bottoms and white laces.

Anyone with information is asked to call Const. Scott Wright at 519-824-1212, ext. 7330, or email him at [e-mail].
