A couple of house painters working in St. Catharines are facing charges after police received several complaints of thefts since November.
Police allege that when Shaun Taylor and Catherine Young were left unattended, the couple would steal various items from inside the homes.
In all the pair are facing 21 offences including theft over $5,000, break and enter, fraudulent use of credit card, and failure to comply with probation.
They are due to appear in court for a bail hearing today.
