Police have arrested a suspect 10 days after a theft at a Mississauga pharmacy.

On Sept. 20, an 85-year-old woman's wallet was reported stolen from RemedyRX Rite Care Pharmacy Inc. in Port Credit.

The incident was caught on surveillance video and shows a man walking into the store, taking a wallet placed on the counter and sliding it behind his back while an employee was interacting with a woman on the other side of the counter.

The victim had apparently purchased a bathroom scale along with medication, and the employee was showing her how to insert batteries as her wallet was stolen. Her daughter was able to cancel all of her bank and credit cards before the suspect attempted to use them.

Peel Regional Police said a 41-year-old man from Mississauga was arrested on Monday night, Sept. 30. He is charged with theft under $5,000 and breach of probation.
