Posted on by

Winnipeg police are looking to identify a man they believe was involved in a mischief incident involving damage to food at an Empress Street business.

Police said they were called to the business around 2:40 p.m. on Wednesday, where they learned a man had allegedly placed his muddy hands into bulk food storage bins — rendering an estimated $2,000 worth of food unsellable — before taking off on foot.
