Two Torontonians have been charged in connection with stealing $1,800 worth of meat from an Oshawa supermarket.

Durham police say the two were carting the meat away from the Real Canadian Superstore Monday night when an employee began following them. They say one suspect left the meat behind, hopped into a U-Haul truck and drove away. The second ran away.
