A man from the Halifax area has been arrested for allegedly stealing more than $50,000 worth of items from stores.
Halifax RCMP say they worked with liquor and building material stores in the area to identify the 55-year-old suspect from North Preston.
They say he was allegedly stealing things like alcohol, perfume, mugs, and construction tools, as well as using credit to fraudulently buy construction materials.
Officers searched a home on Simmonds Road on Tuesday and seized stolen goods estimated at more than $50,000 in value.
Police also seized a truck that they believe he was using to commit the thefts.
The man faces charges for theft over $5,000. He was released on conditions and will appear in court again later.
