Roma crime wrap: thieves target school canteen, man abuses Woolworths staff

Crime wrap: Sweet-toothed thieves force way into school canteen to swindle lollies, while another man has been ordered to face the magistrate after allegedly spraying staff in a tirade down a Woolworths aisle.

​

Roma police have been kept busy this week with a raft offences across the town, including a break-in at a primary school canteen and a man who allegedly abused staff in Woolies.

Offenders broke into the Roma State School middle campus on Cottell Street overnight Monday, before making a getaway with a stash of lollies.

The next night, a 41-year-old Roma man has his wallet stolen from his car while parked on Saunders Street.

Nearby residents contacted police the same night to report people in their yard.

Anyone with information can phone Roma Police on 4622 9333 or anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

On Tuesday morning, police were called Woolworths after a man allegedly abused staff after they told him not to use deodorant without paying.

The 20-year-old was charged with public nuisance and will front Roma Magistrates Court next month.
