A suspect who pleaded guilty to three charges in relation to thefts at the mall in Antigonish has received his sentence.
RCMP say they received reports of a man who fled on foot following two separate thefts at Antigonish Market Square in August.
They say officers, with the help of a police dog, arrested a teen hiding in a grass field near Hwy. 4.
Police charged Isaac MacLellan, 19, of Antigonish with two counts of theft under $5,000 and two breaches.
MacLellan, whose case opened in August, entered a guilty plea to one theft charge and his two breaches during an election-and-plea hearing in December.
He received 12 months’ probation during a sentencing hearing in Antigonish Provincial Court Wednesday.
