Woman Flees On Shopping Cart After Stealing Groceries From Walmart
EAST HUNTINGDON TOWNSHIP (KDKA) – She looked like an ordinary shopper, but her exit from a local Walmart was anything but – using her cart as her getaway.
The scene of the alleged crime: The Walmart in East Huntingdon Township.
The suspect was a woman who is seen pushing around a shopping cart on surveillance video and at first, everything looked normal.
"For all intents and purposes, this was a woman on a normal shopping spree," said State Police Tpr. Steve Limani. "She had her list, she's going through the store."
The woman is seen going from section-to-section grabbing groceries. She even checked her list to make sure she had everything.
"You see her in the video, you can see her crossing things off her list as she's putting things in the buggy," Limani said.
But a closer look and you see this Walmart shopper was doing something a little strange.
"She's putting things in Tupperware containers inside of her cart," said Limani. "Which, for a trained observer, would probably be abnormal."
And then with a shopping cart full of containers full of groceries, she bypasses the checkout line and checks out of the store.
"She exits the store, she does not exit from where the cash registers are, she exits the store from where the main area of the store would be," said Limani.
And the shopper fled the scene using her grocery cart as a getaway car.
"She uses it as a skate board to skate across the parking lot with a cart full of groceries," said Limani.
The video shows the suspect free-wheeling it to parts unknown.
If you wonder why she put the items in some large plastic containers, troopers have a theory.
"It's significantly easier to load her car now that she's taken them," said Limani.
If you recognize the woman, police ask you to contact them.
