NEWS RELEASE
***************************
43-year-old Terrance Polowy of 22 Anich Road was arrested last night by officers from Patrol Services.
It is alleged that Mr. Polowy went to the Zellers store on Northern Ave at around 3:30 p.m. and selected a set of blankets.
The accused then switched the packaging on the blankets in order to change the price code from $119.48 to $22.46.
The accused brought the items to the cashier and paid the lower price for the blankets rather than the original cost.
He was subsequently arrested by police and charged with one count of fraud under $5,000.

toodles 10/31/2012 11:50:33 PM ReportIf this is the person I think it is, aren't his parent(s) "well off" or at least they were once upon a time. Hey Terry, if you are the one I think you are, since Polowy isn't a very common name in the Soo...I always thought you were an idiot from way back in our childhood days, and years later, you certainly have proven me to be right. Good job on ya.
