PRICES CORNER, Del. (AP) - Law enforcement authorities say a shoplifting incident at a Delaware Walmart ended with two teens arrested Thanksgiving Day after an altercation in the store.
New Castle County Police spokesman Master Cpl. Michel Eckerd told the Delaware New Journal that store employees notified police officers providing security to the store that three teens were attempting to steal video games. Eckerd says the teens tried to flee and an altercation ensued when the officers caught up to them.
The newspaper reports an officer used a stun gun to try to stop a teen who struggled with the officers and tried to run.
Eckerd says two teens have been charged. They face misdemeanor counts of shoplifting.
The suspects were not identified because they are minors. They were arraigned and released to their guardians.
