He then left the store making no attempt to pay, say police.
The second case was on Jan. 29 at 8:29 p.m.
Investigators say the same suspect returned, this time taking a 1.4 litre bottle of gin, allegedly placing it inside his sweater before leaving.
As the suspect walked past the checkout, he told employees to “have a nice day,” police say.
The man came back on Feb. 1 at 7 p.m. for another 1.4 litre bottle of vodka, again leaving the store without making any attempt to pay.
The total estimated value of all the combined thefts is just under $200.
The man is described as white, in his 30’s, standing 6-feet, weighing 200 pounds with a medium build. He’s clean-shaven and was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants, white running shoes, and a black toque with a DC clothing logo.
