Although Liquor Marts have security entrances and customers have to show ID to gain entry, police allege the suspect used a stolen Manitoba driver’s licence to gain entry to the stores.
The suspect turned herself in at police headquarters downtown on Friday. She now faces eight counts each of theft under $5,000, identity fraud and identity theft. She’s also charged with possession of an identity document and was the subject of three warrants for theft under $5,000.
