A shoplifting incident at the Sears store on King St. in Chatham has also led to a drug seizure.
Police were called to the store shortly after 10am yesterday after a man put a GPS unit and two drills, with a total value of $300, in a backpack.
Security stopped the man after he left the store and contacted police. Upon searching the suspect police also found a small plastic baggie with crystal meth in his pocket.
The 36-year-old, of no fixed address, is charged with theft under $5,000, property obtained by crime under $5,000, and drug possession. He was held pending a bail hearing.
The items were safely returned to the store shelves.
