Friday, February 20, 2015

A Walgreen’s employee called the Whiting PD to report that they have a shoplifter inside the store.  The complainant reported that it is a white female wearing all black and ins approx. 5’2″ and possibly has a child.  The female went into the bathroom with items and did not come out with them.  The employee found the empty packages inside the store.  Officers located two subjects outside in the parking lot.  Both of these subjects were from East Chicago, IN.  Sgt. Hale located the female that was still inside the store who also was from East Chicago, IN.  The female paid for all the items that she had taken and was advised not to come back the Walgreen’s.
