Ontario Provincial Police are asking for the public’s help identifying a man in connection with an alleged shoplifting incident at a liquor store in Omemee.
City of Kawartha Lakes OPP say the theft occurred at approximately 2:20 p.m. on September 22 at a store on King Street.
According to police, a man entered the store, selected a bottle of alcohol and allegedly concealed it inside his pants.
Investigators say the man then went to the checkout with additional merchandise and paid for those items, but left without paying for the concealed bottle.
Police have released an image captured by surveillance video in hopes someone can identify the individual.
He is described as a white man, approximately five-foot-eight, with short sandy-brown hair, a goatee and mustache.
At the time, he was reportedly wearing a black shirt, black pants, a silver chain necklace and red and blue running shoes, with sunglasses resting on top of his head.
Anyone who recognizes the individual or has information about the incident is asked to contact City of Kawartha Lakes OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
