Barrie Police Service is looking to identify a male and female who thought it was acceptable to fill at shopping cart to the brim and walk out of the store without stopping to pay.
On Tuesday, April 3, 2018 at 1:55 p.m. a male and female attended Loblaws located at 472 Bayfield Street, in the City of Barrie.
