Wal Mart Employees Capture Shoplifter
A 21-year-old man was arrested Wednesday night after employees at an East Naples Wal-Mart watched him allegedly steal DVDs and other merchandise from the store. The employees cornered him until deputies arrived, sheriff’s reports said. Miguel Perez-Hernandez, who did not list an address on arrest reports, was charged with grand theft and obstruction.
Arrest reports say employees at the Wal-Mart Supercenter, 6650 Collier Blvd., told deputies they watched Perez-Hernandez remove merchandise from store shelves and then use pliers that he took from the store to cut off the security devices around 10 p.m. One employee told deputies he saw Perez-Hernandez remove a video camera from his pants and place it under a straw hat, reports said.
When store employees confronted Perez-Hernandez, he tried to run away but the employees cornered him, reports said. When deputies arrived the employees were standing around Perez-Hernandez to keep him from leaving the store, reports said. Deputies say Perez-Hernandez stole a high-definition video camera, a cell phone, an “Iron Man” DVD, along with other DVDs and merchandise valued at more than $400.
