The same two suspects were already being investigated for another Wal-Mart theft that occurred on October 15th at the Dundas Street location in Burlington. In that incident the suspects loaded up two shopping bags with shaving razors and blades totaling $6000.

Two from Toronto were charged with multiple offences:

Steven BENNETT, 38 years, of Toronto has been charged with Theft Over $5000;  Theft Under $5000 and possession of Stolen Property Under $5000  They got this guy coming and going – look for some plea bargaining on this one.

Hali SNOW, 32 years, also of Toronto has been charged with theft Over $5000., theft under $5000., possession of Stolen Property Under $5000 and fail to comply with a Probation Order (two counts)  Ms Snow is clearly not a nice lady.
