Liberty police investigate Walmart thefts

LIBERTY — Police are investigating two incidents of theft Sunday at Walmart on Goldie Road.

A 74-year-old woman told police she was loading groceries into her car shortly after 2 p.m. when a man, whom she described as a tall, thin white male, jumped out of the passenger seat of a car and grabbed a purse out of her hand, a police report states.

The woman reported chasing the man before he jumped back into the silver car, which was driven by a white woman with tattoos, and fled southbound onto Goldie Road and then Hadley Avenue.

Also on Saturday, a 56-year-old Walmart employee told police an unknown man took her hoodie while she was stocking items on a shelf nearby at about 4 p.m.

The hoodie had a driver's licenses and a debit card in the pocket, the woman reported.
