Justice C.A. Walker
A young Atikameg man who stole several items from a High Prairie retail store will have to fork over almost $800 in fines and restitution.
Evan Dacey Alook, 28, was fined $600, including the victim fine surcharge, after pleading guilty in High Prairie Court of Justice April 7 to shoplifting under $5,000.
Court heard Alook took several items of clothing valued at $187 without paying from Glamour and Gear store in High Prairie on Sept. 18, 2024 around 4:30 p.m., Crown prosecutor Nuha Abunada submitted.
Although the store owner did not request a restitution order, the Crown recommended restitution for the unpaid clothing.
Justice C.A. Walker ordered Alook to pay restitution.
“It’s appropriate to get a restitution order,” Justice Walker said while making his decision.
Some items were recovered, the Crown added.
Alook has property-related offences on his criminal record, the Crown noted.
Justice Walker ordered Alook to pay the fine and restitution by Oct. 6.
Dale Jason Bennett was fined $500, including the victim fine surcharge, after pleading guilty to possessing or selling unmarked tobacco.
Bennett was in possession of a carton of unmarked cigarettes, said lawyer Dan Nagase.
Justice C.A. Walker ordered Bennett to pay the fine by Oct. 6.
