Gone fishin’

He said he saw the suspect remove the tag, and replace it with a tag from a cheaper pole. He then went through the self-checkout line, but did not scan all of the items, including several fishing-related items and a swimming suit.
The suspect then attempted to leave the building but was detained. The total value of the merchandise was $118.48. The suspect was given a notice to appear.

Suspect keeps getting pulled over … for same offense
11:35 p.m. — First Block of North Yonge Street. Possession of Cannabis Under 20 Grams. A police officer saw a Chevy SUV with an inoperable headlight, so initiated a traffic stop.
The officer told the suspect, the only occupant of the vehicle, why he pulled him over, and the suspect said he was pulled over three days ago for the same thing.
The officer then asked for his driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance. The suspect took his wallet from his pocket, but did not open it. He said he did not have any ID on him.
The officer noticed small, loose particles of marijuana in his lap, so he removed the suspect from the vehicle to conduct a probable cause search. He found cannabis in a backpack, which also contained a receipt with the suspect’s name. There was also cannabis in his wallet.
He was charged with possession and the cannabis was submitted into evidence.

Is it warm in here?
5:47 p.m. — 200 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Theft. When the victim arrived at work one morning, she noticed the temperature in the store was warmer than normal. She contacted tech support for the store chain.
By the next day, the store became unbearably hot, so she contacted tech support again. This time, they sent an air conditioning repairman out to check the problem.
The repairman reported that someone had removed most of the copper tubing from all five air conditioning units. He said the repair would cost about $4,300, but the thieves only got about $75 worth of copper.
The units were too covered with oil for fingerprints to be retrieved.
