Thefts from three stores on Hastings Street North
Three people are facing theft charges after separate incidents in the Bancroft area last week.
On February 6, officers responded to a theft complaint at a business on Hastings Street North, where employees were holding a woman suspected of stealing.
Twenty-five-year-old Erika Olmstead was charged with theft under $5,000.
Later that day a man was caught on video stealing from another store on the same street and officers arrested 35 year0old Ryan Hogan and laid the same charge against him.
Then, the following day, a theft complaint was made at a third business on Hastings Street North and police were able to identify a suspect, but she hasn’t yet been arrested.
Investigators say she’ll also be charged with theft under $5,000 once she’s in custody.
