Wellington County OPP are looking for a clumsy suspect after a number of thefts at a Walmart on Highway 6.
Police say a woman ran out of the Fergus store on April 26th with almost $700 worth of stolen items.
The woman was crossing the parking lot and nearly made off with the loot– but she tripped, fell, and did a face-plant on the pavement.
Staff that was chasing her tried to help, but the woman took off without any of the goods.
