Burglary

A man called LaGrange police about 9:20 p.m. Tuesday after finding someone had broken into his home in the 100 block of Martha Street.

Police said it appeared someone cut a screen from a window to enter. According to the homeowner, the burglars stole a 55-inch Emerson flat-screen TV, 40 PlayStation 3 games, a PlayStation 3, a Chromecast, five DVDs, a reciprocating saw, various tools, various prescription medicines, a Wii, 10 Wii games, two Wii controllers, a black gym bag, toiletries and a padlock.

The total value of all the items stolen was estimated at $4,470.

Shoplifting

LaGrange police are investigating a pair of shoplifters caught on camera at the Walmart on New Franklin Road.

Officers responded to the store about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday to review surveillance footage of a man who walked into the sporting goods section and selected a $300 crossbow.

According to police, the man then appears to place another bar code on the box containing the crossbow.

The customer walks to the self-checkout line, but had problems getting the bar code to scan. Police said in the video, an unknown female appears and types in the bar code, which rings the crossbow up for just $25 instead of $300.

The couple then leave the store.

Walmart employees told police they believe the man in the video may have shoplifted there before.

Police are investigating.
