A Gravenhurst thief with a nose for cologne had his getaway foiled by Bracebridge OPP, a court heard recently.
Last month, Jesse Adair, 32, of Gravenhurst pled guilty to theft stemming from a Jan. 14, 2022 incident at a Gravenhurst grocery store.
Court heard that on that day staff observed Adair walking the aisles before selecting cologne valued at $180. He was then observed removing the security tags before leaving the store.
After being detained Adair managed to slip away by escaping through a bathroom window. However, Adair, who the court heard has an extensive criminal record, was identified by police via the surveillance footage.
Adair was ultimately sentenced to five days in jail which was served in pre-trial custody.
