Regional police are looking to speak with someone they believe to be involved in two cases of shoplifting in Cambridge and Kitchener.

On Jan. 5, police say a woman entered a business in Cambridge in the area of Franklin Boulevard and Dundas Street South and allegedly walked out with several meat products without paying.

The next day, Jan. 6, the same suspect went into a business in the area of Ottawa Street North and River Road East, allegedly taking merchandise and walking out. This time, an employee confronted the suspect outside of the store and she returned the items before leaving the scene.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Regional Police or Crime Stoppers.
