(THESSALON)- Shoplifter and getaway driver attempt to evade police.

On December 4, 2024, at approximately 2:45 p.m., officers from the East Algoma Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a theft of liquor at the liquor store on Main Street in the Town of Thessalon.

The investigation revealed that the suspect entered the liquor store, took several bottles of liquor without attempting to pay, and walked out. The individual then fled northbound on Main Street in a getaway car.



While patrolling, police spotted the suspect white car traveling westbound on Highway 17 near Jarrett Road. When officers attempted to follow the vehicle, the driver tried to evade police, speeding dangerously while overtaking other westbound vehicles.
