A Saanich resident with a green thumb and sticky fingers was arrested on Wednesday morning after allegedly robbing a gardening supply store.

According to an April 15 tweet by the Saanich Police Department, earlier in the day, officers stopped someone coming from a gardening store pushing a cart full of supplies and plants – the catch was, the store was closed.

The tweet went on to say that the stolen goods were returned and the suspect was arrested for theft.
