A string of thefts in Gravenhurst has led to one man having multiple charges to his name thanks to Bracebridge OPP.
The man was apprehended October 7th, after police responded to reports of a theft in progress at a grocery store on Edward Street a 3:40 p.m. Store staff recognized the person as the suspect from a previous theft at the store.
Officers investigated and revealed that the same man was responsible for a large theft at another Gravenhurst supermarket earlier in the day. The suspect is also alleged to have stolen thousands of dollars worth of product from Gravenhurst grocery stores on September 8 and 17.
As a result, a 59-year-old man from Scarborough was given 10 charges: four for theft under $5,000, and six for failure to comply with probation.
He was held in custody and will appear in court in Bracebridge on Thursday for a bail hearing.
