Hope they stayed locked up for a while. They need to learn that Montgomery County does not play with criminals.

Being a former Walmart employee I know there are many many many more getting out the door with hundreds of dollars of merch without any repercussions and also people who work there being watched for as so much as a pack of gum. Would be great to have efforts allocated to the department based on the dollar amount of loss reported. Kuddos to the associates who noticed the issue to begin with. We were not "customer service" employees, we felt like "Walmart police". It was hard to be identified as an employee who provided excellent customer service by managers and customers both. I felt like I was more known for things I didnt do verses all the money I made for the company. My 2nd year I never heard of these "bonuses" that were always talked about till the end of 2024 I earned a "bonus" but couldn't get it till 2025 and never really got the bonus because I was terminated in Jan 2025 after over 3 years of service. The associates that initiated the concern regarding these thieves should be given recognition for going above and beyond the scope of the job description. It is a whole different level of expertise involving asset loss prevention verses the roll of assisting customers in the check out process. Good job catching them in the parking lot as it is a rare thing. Working in the evening there isn't as much sense of urgency nor authorized personnel to perform appropriate measures like this instance when I was working there. We recorded so many things in those binders that just sat for weeks in the book that fell on deaf or absent ears.

@2busy2cu2 : I was told by a WM employee at my local Marketplace store that theft happens all the time! I went to a self check register and there was a strange message on the screen so I called for help. She fixed it to where I could transact and told me that it was theft and it happens nearly daily!
