March 6th
The South Simcoe Police Service is thanking social media and the folks that use it, after arresting two in connection to an Alcona shoplifting. A 29-year-old man and 22-year-old woman turned themselves into police following pressure on social media.
Police released images of the pair that Barrie 360 has since removed from this post, images police say helped generate tips that lead to the two turning themselves in.
