A Group Of People Allegedly Stole A Bunch Of Stuff From An Ontario IKEA & Only Paid $1.76

A group of people in Ontario put a new meaning to IKEA's iconic "Start the car!" phrase, as police are looking for four suspects who allegedly stole from one of the stores.

In a press release, Halton Regional Police said the incident happened on Monday, May 16, when the suspects hit up the IKEA at 1065 Plains Road East in Burlington.

When the suspects were at the store, they filled up their cart with a couple of rugs, and a set of duvet covers. They then supposedly stuffed some "unknown smaller items" inside to hide what else was in their cart.

Officers alleged that the suspects only paid $1.76 for all the items in their cart, which would have cost them about $600 for everything in total. But police said they made no attempt to pay for the homeware items.

The suspects fled the IKEA in a grey Toyota Venza, but one eagle-eyed witness caught a glimpse of their licence plate as they fled the store.
