Waterloo regional police say two men from the Toronto area are facing charges in connection to a scam involving meat and gifts cards at local grocery stores.
Police say the duo were at a store near Erb Street West and Fischer-Hallman Road in Waterloo on Jan. 29 at around 6 p.m. when alert employees spotted the suspects placing barcodes on meat products before leaving the store.
The employees then called police and told them the pair had left the scene in a black Ford F150.
Officers soon pulled the vehicle over and arrested the pair. A 38-year-old and a 30-year-old, both from York Region, were charged with fraud under $5,000.
On Monday, police announced further charges against them, noting their alleged involvement in seven other incidents in the area.
