Salina Police are looking for four known suspects from the Wichita area after an alleged shoplifting incident Sunday evening at a local retail store.

Salina Police Lieutenant Jim Feldman said this morning that officers were called to Walmart, 2900 South Ninth Street, for the report of an alleged shoplifting incident. He said that two men and two women allegedly loaded up two shopping carts with items that included electronics, food, clothing, a backpack, and a laundry basket. They then fled through the store's lawn and garden exit, he added.

Feldman said that although the four allegedly left the store with $1,100 of merchandise that was not purchased, they were only able to load approximately $700 worth of the merchandise into a silver four-door car before fleeing the parking lot.

Through the course of the investigation, police were able to identify the four suspects and are in the process of getting warrants for them, Feldman said.
