Guelph police say a Kitchener woman and her son were arrested after a violent theft from a Guelph business.
On Sept. 22 around 4:40 p.m., police were called to a business on Stone Road West. Police said staff had been observing a woman and three kids, between 10 and 15-years-old, as they made their way around the store, placing more than $1,000 worth of product in 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,” said a news release.
Police said a fight broke out and both employees were assaulted, with one sustaining injuries to her arms and neck. The suspects got away with more than $500 worth of items.
The 35-year-old mom was arrested on Wednesday and charged with assault causing bodily harm and theft under $5,000.
Earlier this month, the mother’s 15-year-old son from Cambridge was arrested for assault and theft under $5,000.
