There was no indication from information presented at Regina Provincial Court what led Wayne Robert Curle to steal the salty snacks from the back of a truck on the morning of Aug. 17.

Crown prosecutor Loreley Berra told the court Curle was caught on surveillance video at the city’s PepsiCo compound taking the chips from the truck — court did not hear how many boxes — and filling a wheelbarrow before pushing the pilfered potato pieces home.

When police later showed up at Curle’s home, the chips were found all over the residence, court heard.

Curle pleaded guilty to theft and mischief in relation to that incident during his Monday court appearance, as well as unrelated mischief and shoplifting charges.
