Wedding dress smash-and-grab in Halifax

A 19-year-old Halifax woman is facing charges of break and enter after police say she smashed the window of a business, grabbed a wedding dress that was on display and ran away.

At 4:42 a.m. Tuesday, Halifax police were called to the business after witnesses reported seeing the alleged smash and grab.

Police located a woman matching the suspect's description a few blocks away. A wedding dress was also found nearby.

In a new twist on a runaway bride, a Halifax woman allegedly broke into a wedding shop early Tuesday morning, grabbed a dress and ran.

Halifax Police told the CBC the woman smashed the window of Winchester’s Bridal and Formals on Dresden Row just before 5 a.m., grabbed a dress that was on display and fled down Spring Garden Road.

Police caught the 19-year-old with the dress still in hand. Caitlin Patricia Marie Hill, 19, was charged with break and enter, breach of recognizance and breach of probation.

There were no details on whether the dress was designer or off-the-rack. “The only thing I can tell you as a guy is that it’s a white dress. That’s all I can say for sure,” said Const. Brian Palmeter.
