A Cambridge male who ran away from store security after he was arrested for shoplifting faces several charges.
In January the male was arrested after he was allegedly observed leaving a Woodlawn Road West business with more than $550 in stolen property. He was stopped by a loss prevention officer and returned to the store, but a short time later fled and was apprehended again following a foot chase and brief struggle.
The male was arrested by Guelph Police Service officers for theft and escaping custody and released with a future court date, however he subsequently failed to appear in court on the charges.
A 36-year-old Cambridge male was arrested Thursday on unrelated matters by Waterloo Regional Police and returned to Guelph, where he was additionally charged with failing to appear in court. He was held for a bail hearing Friday.
