Police Arrest Suspects in Wal – Mart Robbery Attempt

Last week we posted a story about three suspected shoplifters at Owensboro’s Frederica St. Wal-Mart. The male suspect allegedly pulled a big knife on the security officer and fled. Along with him were two females.

1490 WOMI was asked by the Owensboro Police Department to spread the word and post survelience photographs and video of the suspects. We also listed the Crime Stopper’s  contact number. 270-687-8484
