The Windsor Police Service has saved Christmas. The Grinch has been arrested for allegedly breaching his bail conditions and stealing candy canes.

Police were called to 6767 Whoville Plaza last week after receiving reports of a grouchy green suspect trying to steal a Christmas tree, several stockings, and an ‘unreasonable amount of candy canes.’

The WPS said the suspect was on strict bail conditions after being arrested last year, which saw the theft of a gift for a kid on Santa’s Nice List.

Bail conditions included staying out of Whoville, avoiding all holiday events, and not committing any Christmas-related mischief.

The Grinch was found eating way too many candy canes, affecting his speed while trying to escape.

He was arrested and is facing charges of theft under $5,000, failure to comply with a release order, and possession of stolen holiday spirit.

All stolen items were recovered and returned.
