15-year-old charged for alleged violent theft involving woman, 3 children
A Cambridge teen has been arrested after Guelph Police say he was involved in a violent theft at a Guelph store.
It happened on Sept. 22, around 4:40 p.m., on Stone Road West.
According to police, staff had been watching a woman and three children – estimated to be between 10 and 15 years of age – as they made their way around the store placing more than $1,000 in product into a cart.
“Believing they intended to steal the items, two employees were waiting at a side exit when the parties tried to leave with the full cart,” police said in a media release. “A physical altercation ensued during which both employees were assaulted, with one sustaining injuries to her arms and neck. The suspects fled with more than $500 worth of items.”
On Tuesday, a 15-year-old boy was arrested for assault and theft under $5,000.
The woman who was involved has been identified, but has not yet been arrested.
