Police located the suspect in the Powell Drive-area a short time later, and 40-year-old Clouston Deering who was also the subject of additional theft-related investigations was arrested.

He is expected to appear in provincial court today (December 10) to face charges of:

• Theft under $5,000 – 7 counts
• Failure to comply with an Undertaking – 2 counts

The investigations are ongoing.
