Update: Police Asking for Assistance to Identify Mall Thief

Release Date: January 24, 2018

18-2469

On January 19, 2018 Kingston Police issued a media release in regards to the theft of a shopping bag with recently purchased merchandise. The release and an image of the suspect was posted to social media.

On January 23, 2018 the suspect attended police headquarters to turn himself. The merchandise was safely returned to the owner who then elected not to proceed with charges.

The incident drew some discussion on social media as to whether or not simply taking the apparently abandoned bag was a theft. Kingston Police wish to advise that it was in fact a theft, for these reasons:

  • The property was not intentionally abandoned, it was misplaced;

  • the property had a rightful owner;

  • the suspect had no colour of right to the property;

  • and the property was taken with the intent to deprive the owner.
