A woman wanted in connection with a theft during a mass wedding held as part of WorldPride events last week has turned herself in to police.

Authorities put out a press release earlier this week saying a purse was stolen during the wedding reception at Casa Loma last Thursday evening.

Police released images and a description of a suspect and the story was circulated widely on social media.

On Wednesday, police announced that with the help of the public, a suspect was identified. She turned herself in to police yesterday.

Emma Burtch, 23, of Toronto, is charged with theft under $5,000.

She is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 15.
