Toys R Us shoplifting suspects leave loot
when getaway car won’t start
Maplewood Police are looking for three suspects who attempted to steal several carts of toys
Saturday night from the Toys R Us store on County Road D.
There was just one glitch in their plans: Their getaway car wasn’t ready to go. When the car
wouldn’t start, they took off on foot, leaving it and the loot behind in the store’s parking lot.
Maplewood police were having fun with the incident on Twitter, posting a picture of the Grinch’s
sleigh next to a gas can.
