A 40-year-old Winnipeg man has been charged with a string of retail thefts across a nine-month span this year, during which more than $25,000 worth of items were stolen.

The thefts started in mid-March, when food was stolen from the Safeway grocery store at Osborne Street and Kylemore Avenue, in the South Osborne area. There were four thefts at the store, with about $1,650 worth of food taken by mid-May, a police news release said.

The store that suffered the most losses — and most expensive — was Home Depot on Empress Street, in the Polo Park area, where more than $13,000 in tools and machinery was stolen, according to a list from police.
