A loss prevention officer at the Wellington Street Shoppers Drug Mart was dragged behind the vehicle of a fleeing shoplifter Tuesday.

Police say a man entered the store around 8:25 p.m. and was seen putting several fragrances in his pockets before leaving without paying.

A loss prevention officer chased after the man and yelled at him to stop. The man refused to stop and jumped into the passenger seat of a silver Chevrolet Uplander van.

The officer approached the van and reached inside to attempt to grab some of the stolen items when vehicle started to drive away.
