The delivery man for the Lala milk company was caught in the act of stealing merchandise from a popular grocery store located on Chapala’s main avenue on Tuesday, January 15.
Police Chief Amador Bahena Pinzón reported that the individual was temporarily detained by the store’s personnel after he was spotted on the video surveillance system switching his deliveries for other products kept in the storage area.
Officers quickly arrived at the scene to take the man into custody and put him at the disposition of the Ministerio Público prosecutor’s office to face charges of larceny.
The milkman had previously been caught shoplifting at the same store several months ago, but the management let him off without notifying police after he signed a promissory note to reimburse the value of the pilfered goods in excess of 6,000 pesos.
