Shoplifter drives to Walmart in a tractor cab – police at first unaware of his mode of transportation

The suspect was arrested that day and charged with shoplifting offences. What police didn’t know at the time was that his trip to the Walmart Store was by the truck tractor.

On May 6, 2015, the accused was located by Halton Regional Police investigators in Milton and charged with the theft of the truck.
