KAWARTHA LAKES-An alleged shoplifter attempted to run from police but surrendered after Kawartha Lakes Police K-9 and her handler P.C. Watson tracked him down.
Officers were called to an Angeline Street North department store after a male party was allegedly observed to enter the store, select a wicker basket and then place $100.00 worth of cowboy steaks in it on Friday just before noon. The man then left the store, followed by store security, who had contacted police.
The man took off when police arrived with K-9 Xena and other officers in pursuit. The foot chase continued for some distance through heavy traffic until the man surrendered prior to being apprehended by Xena.
30-year-old Ryan Henry Morency of Lindsay is facing charges. He was held in custody on charges of Theft Under $5000.00, Possession of Stolen Property Under $5000.00 and four counts of Failing to Comply with a Probation Order.
