One man stood as lookout as they boosted nearly $14k worth of items from Walmart

Two men stole $13,500 worth of merchandise from the Conway Walmart, and police are searching for the suspects.

A loss prevention officer for the Walmart, 2709 Church St., reported the burglary to Conway police Monday. Surveillance video showed two suspects — both white men in their 50s — in the electronics department of the store, according to a police report.

The suspect waited until an employee walked to the front of the store. Then, one of the suspects, according to the report, pried open a locked drawer while the other man kept watch.

The suspects took 14 iPhones and put them into a cart covered by a shirt, according to the report.

The men then went to the clothing area and put the phones into Walmart shopping bags and left without paying, according to the report.
