Two Chatham residents are charged with theft under $5,000 and possession of stolen property after meat was stolen from No Frills on Queen Street Saturday afternoon.

Chatham-Kent police allege a man entered the store around 3 p.m. and took $80 worth of meat before leaving without making an attempt to pay.

At about the same time, police said a woman entered the store and allegedly stole $80 worth of poultry.

Both thefts went unnoticed until Sunday, when the store manager reviewed the surveillance video, police said.

Both suspects, a 23-year-old man and 20-year-old woman, are charged.

They were held for a bail hearing.
