A Toronto police officer has been arrested and charged after he allegedly stole three bottles of alcohol from a store Friday, police say.
The officer entered a store around 3:30 p.m. Friday and took the bottles "without making an attempt to pay," Toronto police said in a release Saturday.
Police didn't say in the release whether he was on duty at the time or where exactly the alleged theft took place.
The officer, 39, has been charged with theft under $5,000 and suspended with pay, police said. He has 18 years of service, according to the release.
He's scheduled to appear in court in Toronto on Nov. 14, police said.

Health Minister Adriana LaGrange is alleging the former CEO of Alberta Health Services was unwilling and unable to implement the government's plan to break up the health authority, became "infatuated" with her internal investigation into private surgical contracts and made "incendiary and inaccurate allegations about political intrigue and impropriety" before she was fired in January.
