Two men who were arrested on charges that they allegedly stole money from the Ellis Casey's will face additional charges for felony theft from the Hays Walmart.
Dresean Holden, 20, of Flint, Michigan, and Hakeem Black, 22, of Flint, Michigan, were arrested outside Limon, Colorado, after they were identified as possible suspects in a theft of $1,500 in cash from the Ellis Casey's on Sept. 6.
Lt. Brandon Wright of the Hays Police Department said the suspects allegedly entered the Hays Walmart. One of the suspects allegedly attempted to purchase an iPad using a fraudulent card.
Wright said the clerk thought the card was legitimate, but no charge was made when the card was run.
The second suspect allegedly used a card to make a similar fraudulent transaction for three more iPads. The suspects allegedly left the store with four iPads for which they did not pay, Wright said.
The reported loss was $3,941, which included insurance plans for the iPads.
Evidence was recovered from the suspects upon their arrest that allegedly linked them to several other thefts along the I-70 corridor in Kansas, according to the Ellis Police Department.
Information on the suspects' identities has been provided to the relevant agencies to assist in their investigations.
