Halton Regional Police are investigating potentially related thefts at two Acton grocery stores.
At approximately 1 p.m. Friday (Jan. 26), police say a customer at the No Frills store on Queen Street had her purse in a shopping cart when two men approached her. According to police, the purse was removed from the cart when the woman wasn't looking.
Both male suspects are described as white, approximately 5-foot-8. One suspect had a heavy build and was wearing a black jacket, black T-shirt, blue jeans, Black Adidas shoes and a Las Vegas Golden Knights hat. The other suspect had a medium build and was wearing a long, black jacket, blue jeans and black boots.
About an hour later, police say a customer at the neighbouring Sobeys store had a wallet stolen from a purse that was in a cart. There was no description available of the suspect(s). Police believe this incident was possibly related to the earlier theft.
No arrests have been made.
Anyone with information can contact police at 905-825-4777 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or haltoncrimestoppers.ca.
