A 29-year-old Chatham male was arrested Saturday on theft charges following an incident at a variety store last week.
Chatham-Kent police said the man went into the Mac’s Milk store on McNaughton Avenue on January 16 and cut open a bag of milk.
Police say the man then told the clerk that milk was spilled as a distraction.
When the clerk was dealing with the situation, police say the man took $60 worth of lottery tickets.
The man has been charged with theft, possession and mischief under $5,000.
