Halton police are investigating the theft of around $4,000 worth of e-readers from a Burlington bookstore.

On Nov. 22 at 1:30 p.m., a man entered the Indigo book store at 777 Guelph Line.

Police allege he selected several Kobo e-readers and quickly left the store making no attempt to pay.

The man returned a few minutes later, allegedly grabbing several more e-readers and then fleeing the store.
