Woman arrested for stealing from LCBO
The long arm of the law has caught up to a 39-year-old Chatham woman who was wanted for allegedly stealing from the LCBO.
Chatham-Kent police said the woman allegedly walked into the LCBO on Wellington Street in Chatham on December 28, grabbed some items from the shelves, and left without paying for them.
Officers said they were able to identify the woman after reviewing some surveillance footage but they couldn't track her down right away, so they got a warrant for her arrest.

She was later released with a future court date.
