Police said officers got a report in August saying a man had grabbed an item from a shelf of a Dewdney Avenue liquor store, then assaulted an employee before fleeing.
Investigating officers pored over “hours of surveillance footage as they worked to determine who was responsible,” the Regina Police Service said in a statement.
“Last night, the suspect was located and arrested by Patrol officers following a report of a theft at a business.”
Police said the 40-year-old man is now facing 30 separate charges of theft under $5,000, along with one charge of robbery relating to the alleged incident at the Dewdney Avenue liquor store.
The police force encouraged retailers to “invest in security cameras, if possible,” and to report all instances of theft.
“The Regina Police Service takes retail theft seriously and, although much of the work takes place after the occurrence, collaborative crime prevention is a key component,” police noted.
