Ontario Police Are Looking For Someone Who Stole Over 50 Pairs Of Crocs

It may be freezing in Ontario, but Crocs are apparently still in high demand.

Ontario Provincial Police are a suspect who stole about 55 pairs of Crocs from a popular Wasaga Beach business.

In a news release issued January 24, the Huronia West Detachment of the OPP said they responded to a break and enter at a beachfront store located on Mosley Street on January 23. Provincial Constable Elizabeth Newton confirmed to Narcity that it was at Pedro's Gift Shop.

At some point between 5 p.m. on January 22 and the morning of January 23, someone broke the store’s window in order to get inside.

Newton said about 55 pairs of Crocs footwear were stolen from the store, worth a total of $2,700.

Crocs' Classic Clog for men and women costs about $59.99, although some iterations can cost over $80.

People on Twitter have been judging the thief's choice in footwear since a photo of a lone yellow Croc sandal and other pairs of shoes at the scene of the break and enter was posted by police on January 24.

“Look for someone that has Covid. They say you lose your sense of taste,” one Twitter user said.

While another commented that it was “a weird way to try to pay off your debt.”

Police say they do not have a physical description of the suspect at this time.

Authorities are asking businesses around Mosley Street and First Street North in Wasaga Beach to check their security cameras for any unusual activity.
