Suspected Serial Shoplifter Of Wal-Mart Stores, Tommie Ashcraft, Charged
OKLAHOMA -- Store employees at the Edmond Wal-Mart at Danforth and Santa Fe tell police the suspect is violent and has been ripping off stores for quite some time.
"You don't hear about any crime in Edmond," Wal-Mart shopper Samantha Roper said.
Twenty miles away from Edmond in Midwest City, officers are hearing the same story.
"It makes me not want to go to Wal-Mart by myself," Roper said.
Some customers say it seems like shoplifters are common at Wal-Mart. Those customers are worried that if criminals can steal from the store, they can target shoppers as well.
"I think they need to do the time and be in [jail] for a while," Hand said. "They [will] get out eventually, and they'll do it again."
So far, police have accounted for roughly $600 worth of stolen items. The tally is expected to climb.
Ashcraft already had warrants out for his arrest when Midwest City police arrested him. He is being held on $45,000 bond.
