Niagara Falls Police responded to Walmart on Military Road around 9pm on August 30th after reports of shoplifters.
Upon arrival, store security advised officers that there were a few black females in the store acting suspiciously who have reportedly stolen from Walmart in the past. The females ended up checking out items in their cart through a self-checkout line.
As the females were checking out, the camera above the register did show that they did not place all the items in their carts on the belt. After paying the cashier for multiple items, the females and a child that was with them walked past all points of purchase and exited the store.
They were quickly approached by law enforcement and brought back into the store to loss prevention where an inventory of the items in their cart was taken. It was determined that four items were not paid for totaling $25.96.
The females were charged with petit larceny and issued appearance tickets. Walmart did recover all stolen items. No further information is available at this time.
