Halifax District RCMP and Halifax Regional Police are asking for public assistance with identifying persons of interest following perfume thefts.

Police are investigating two incidents where large quantities of perfume were stolen from a business in Cole Harbour and in Dartmouth over the past two months. In both cases, the female enters the store while on her cell phone, approaches a clerk requesting to see the fragrances at the back counter. Shortly after, a male enters the business, goes towards the fragrance counter and proceeds to place a large quantity of fragrances in to a black bag with white stripes then departs the business. The product taken has a value of over $2000.

If you have any information regarding these incidents you are asked to contact Halifax District RCMP or Halifax Regional Police at 902-490-5020 or 902-490-5016.
