A loss prevention office at Walmart at 8101 E. Brainerd Road told police he was watching a black female who entered the store and saw her in the meat aisle. He said she placed a couple of steaks in the bottom of the cart and then she put a couple in the top part of the cart. The top part of the cart was also the female's purse. The steaks that she placed in the bottom of the cart were placed directly into a Walmart shopping bag. The employee said he then walked after the woman and stopped her right outside the doors. He was able to recover the steaks that were in the bottom of the cart and the amount of merchandise that he recovered was $109. He said the woman placed the other steaks that were on the top of the cart into her purse but he was not able to recover those. He then watched the woman get into the passenger side of a dark-colored Nissan SUV with a tag that came back to a Nissan Murano. The employee said he has dealt with this woman before and will look for information on her to try and identify her. She was described as heavier set and was wearing glasses, a mask, a long jacket, and a white wave cap.
