New York Thieves' Clever Trick for Stealing Shoes - as part of the news series by GeoBeats.
Shoe thieves in New York have been stealing sneakers one at a time from in store displays. The thieves have figured out a way to steal the display shoes from different stores to create a pair. The manager of a sneaker store told the New York Post: “They go to Foot Locker, which has all right-sided shoes. Then they come here because we display left-sided shoes.” Store owners have begun taking preventative measures by keeping their display shoes locked in a case, and tying or attaching the shoe to the display wall..
A couple of shoe thieves were arrested after attempting to evade police using clever techniques. A man and woman were suspected of shop lifting shoes from Kohl’s department store, but when police tried to apprehend them, they fled in their car to another shopping center and hid the stolen shoes in the shoe department of a local Walmart. The woman escaped by catching a ride from her parents who didn’t know that the police were after her, but the man was caught and arrested.
