State police have issued reports on two thefts at the White Township Walmart store, one on January 17th and the other this past Friday afternoon.
The January 17th incident involved two women who got away with 21 one-hundred dollar bills from the service desk. Police say that at 4:28 PM, the two suspects entered the store and about a half-hour later, they went to the customer service area, where one of them handed the cashier a twenty-dollar gift card and a fifty-dollar bill. When the cashier opened the cash drawer, the woman reached into it. The cashier pulled out a stack of one-hundred dollar bills and the woman grabbed it, and then fanned the bills out in her hands. The second woman then began waving her arms around and talking to the cashier to distract her. While that was happening, the first woman let go of the stack of bills, which the cashier put back in the drawer, but the woman had kept 21 of them and stuffed them in her pocket.
The women left the store and police say they got into a black Dodge Caravan, fleeing by backing the van the length of the parking lot and joining the lane of traffic.
The first suspect had “dirty blonde” hair and wore black pants and boots with a white, long-sleeve leopard-print shirt with a black vest. She carried a black purse. The second suspect had black/brown curly medium-length hair, and wore black pants with a black puffy jacket.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Trooper Benjamin Clauto at 357-1960.
In the incident Friday afternoon, police say 22-year-old Denae Hurd of Indiana under-rang 17 items at the self-serve register. Hurd has been charged with retail theft.
