Stratford police are asking for public help to locate a brazen shoplifter who allegedly walked out of a grocery store with over $4,000 in merchandise.
Officers were called to the Sobeys on Huron Street in Stratford just after 9 a.m. on Thursday for a report of a theft.
Police say a woman entered the store, filled a shopping cart with items and then left without paying.
The total value of the stolen merchandise is estimated at over $4,000 and included meat, baby formula, chewing gum and other grocery items.
According to police, the woman spent a long time in the store and appeared "calm and well-organized."
A vehicle with another occupant was reportedly waiting for the woman outside.
Anyone with information on the suspect or the vehicle involved is asked to call the Stratford Police Service at 519-271-4143 or Crime Stoppers.
