A woman walked through the aisles at Walmart with a list of items,
crossing each one off along the way, then rode away on her shopping cart
full of stolen goods.
State police have released surveillance video of the incident at the
store in East Huntingdon Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
Police said the unknown woman used large Rubbermaid containers to store
the stolen items, including razors, meats, milk and beauty products.
After she would put each item into her cart, police said she would cross
it off her list.
"It appears she is basically going off of a grocery list," said Trooper
Stephen Limani.
"Usually criminals don't grab heavy items that cost $2 or $3 and run out of a store with them. Sometimes it happens in our area because people do amazing things, but that's not normal." Surveillance video from the parking lot shows the woman pushing her shopping cart and running behind it to gain speed, then hopping on the cart and riding it as a child might do.
"When she got out of the store, she took her buggy and started to run
with it and ultimately used her buggy as a skateboard to skate away,"
said Limani.
The theft happened at the end of February, but police said they are only
just now releasing the surveillance footage because of issues with the
video and failed leads.
Anyone who recognizes the woman in the video is asked to call police.
