Arnold Police are trying to find two Michigan women who allegedly stole merchandise worth $2,017.90 and $20 in cash from Walmart, 2201 Michigan Ave. The women have been identified as a 25-year-old from Flushing, Mich., and a 26-year-old from Burton, Mich., Arnold Police reported.
At about 2:30 p.m. March 2, the women had a cashier ring up clothing, sporting goods and electronics. One of the women gave the cashier a credit card but told the cashier to enter the purchase as a cash sale, the report said.
