Walmart: A Memphis woman found shoplifting\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A 37-year-old woman from Memphis was found shoplifting<\/a> in one of the Walmart stores. A police officer from Memphis indicated the details of the woman in an affidavit and stated that the merchandise we shoplifted was less than $1,000. The officer also stated that this woman was a known shoplifter, meaning this was not her first time doing something like this. She was arrested on 10 February 2025, around 15:44, at one of the Walmart stores in South Memphis.<\/p>\n

The woman was placed on the Authorisation of Agency (AoA) list and therefore she is not allowed to be at any Walmart store in the United States of America, due to her record of previous shoplifting encounters.

More specifically, it is a document where a property owner authorises law enforcement agencies to act against people who are found trespassing on their properties. This includes the arresting these individuals making themselves guilty of trespassing.<\/p>\n

She was caught stealing eleven packs of ramen noodles, a pair of boots for women, blue jeans, and a t-shirt. This all accounted for $137.34 as indicated on the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Additionally, another woman allegedly participated in the scam and stole a backpack, two bras, a lash kit, and automative accessories. The total price of these items was $57.86, as indicated on the affidavit. A misdemeanour citation for theft of property was set out for her, and the court document still continues.<\/p>\n
