LaGrange police are investigating after 25 iPhones and a Roomba vacuum were stolen from the Walmart on New Franklin Road Wednesday. According to the police report, an unknown man entered the store at 2 a.m., went behind the electronics counter and put the phones and vacuum in a cart. The items have a total value of $25,299.
The suspect then went to the fishing section and disabled the emergency exit door by removing its battery, according to the police report. The suspect then placed the phones and vacuum outside the door and left the shopping cart near the bike aisle and left the store.
