The manager of the Walmart on Signal Mountain Road said four "suspicious-looking" black females came into the store, then left and got into a maroon PT Cruiser.
One of the women came back inside and began stuffing items into her purse, including a $130 TMobile Android cellphone. Then she rushed out a fire exit.
As she was being chased, the PT Cruiser left. The woman shoplifter began to hoof it down the nearby railroad tracks.
Police did not catch the shoplifter, but they located the PT Cruiser nearby. Those inside included Alexeus Ross and Dutchess Lykes.
