Steinbach RCMP are asking the public for assistance in identifying a suspect connected to a number of theft related incidents that occurred in Steinbach, Manitoba.

Suspect

Suspect wanted by police in connection to a number of theft investigations.

On October 10, 2015 at 12:17pm, members of the Steinbach RCMP received a report of an attempted theft at a bridal store on Main Street in Steinbach. The suspect was described as female on a motorized scooter and was seen by employees attempting to take an item from a display clothing rack outside the store. The suspect did not successfully make off with the item.

When the female suspect was confronted by management, who attempted to take a picture of her for the police, she became aggressive. Fortunately no one was injured.

This suspect was also identified as stealing from this same location back on May 5 of this year and successfully made off with some clothing items that have not yet been recovered. The suspect has not been identified in either incident.

If you have any information in regards to this investigation you are asked to contact the Steinbach RCMP Detachment at 204-326-4452 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477. You can also submit a tip online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com or text TIPMAN plus your message to CRIMES(274637).
