FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 1, 2015
On Wednesday, September 30, 2015, at approximately 4:21am, two males entered
Walmart, 373 Benner Pike. The males selected a tote bin and placed it in a shopping
cart. At 4:24am, a third male entered Wal-Mart and grabbed another shopping cart.
The three males met in Beauty / Cosmetics and began loading the tote bin with high
end beauty products, such as Rogaine, Prilosec and Crest Whitening Strips. The males
then pushed the cart into the Gardening area and exited through an alarmed door. A
white SUV (believed to be a newer Chevy Equinox) was waiting for the males outside
the door. The males loaded the bin into the rear of the vehicle and fled the area.
Walmart reported they believe the same three males are suspects in a theft at the
Walmart in Mill Hall earlier that morning.
All three suspects were black males. Suspect # 1 was wearing red short-sleeve shirt,
red ball cap, jeans, black sneakers with orange laces. Suspect # 2 was wearing a
green Oakland A's ball cap, green coat (possibly Oakland A's), camouflage pants and
brown boots. Suspect # 3 was wearing a green long-sleeve shirt, jeans and black NY
Yankees ball cap.
We are urging anyone who may have information regarding this incident to contact the
State College Police Department at (814) 234-7150, by email or submit an anonymous tip
through our website.
