A Hays man and woman were arrested for allegedly attempting to steal a shopping cart full of items at Walmart.
According to Hays Police Chief Don Scheibler, 53-year-old Terri Kim Boehm and 52-year-old Mieczyslaw Michael Nestir allegedly attempted to exit the store without paying on Saturday.
When confronted by Walmart staff, Nestir allegedly fled on foot before police arrived, while Boehm was apprehended at a vehicle. Officers later discovered that the suspects had allegedly altered the vehicle's license plate to avoid detection.
Scheibler said the shopping cart full of merchandise was valued at $770.99.
Nestir turned himself in at the police department on Sunday. Both suspects were charged with theft and interference with law enforcement.
