CRIME:  MEAT THIEF

DATE:    August 7, 2017

RCMP FILE:  2017-46445 and 2017-49477

Nothing but the best meat for this thief!  Around 5:15 p.m. on August 7th a male picked out 2 prime rib roasts from a grocery store on the 1800 block of Cooper Road in Kelowna and exited the store.  When approached by the Loss Prevention Officer, who identified himself as such, the male fled towards Highway 97 by foot.  On August 19th the same male stole more prime rib from the store’s West Kelowna location, again running from the Loss Prevention Officer.  Can you identify this male person of interest?  He is described as being a Caucasian male in his mid 30’s, 6’2” tall with a medium build, a goatee, white baseball cap, dark grey t-shirt and light grey shorts.
