You may have seen a prolonged police response at Safeway yesterday afternoon that was witnessed by many in the community, and we wanted to provide some context.
A male who has been frequenting the area over the past few weeks shoplifted a basket full of items from Safeway.
He was contacted by a store employee, who the suspect then attacked. The suspect then went back inside the store.
