A man who was at a popular Steveston ice cream store on Wednesday afternoon has been charged by police.
Ahmed Mohamed Hassan was identified as the man in the video who allegedly helped himself to ice cream behind the counter at Timothy's Frozen Yogurt around 1 p.m. on Oct. 16.
After being arrested on an unrelated matter, he was charged with one count of mischief, according to Richmond RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Adriana O'Malley.
He has since been released on conditions including not going to the Steveston store.
A video posted by Kaitlyn Sieg, daughter of the owner of Pierside Deli, showed a portion of the incident including Hassan allegedly reaching into the freezer with his bare hands for ice cream. Sieg's voice can be heard on the video telling the man to leave and that police had been called.
