Police in LaPorte are looking for two would-be shoplifters whose attempt to steal a scanner from a Radio Shack store was foiled by an alert citizen.
Store employees say two white men in dark clothing came into the store just after 5 p.m. Saturday, and one asked to see a police scanner. He asked a few questions and then walked toward the door with it in his hand. A store employee tried to grab him, but he kept going. However, police say a citizen who was walking up to the store grabbed the scanner from the suspect’s hands. The would-be shoplifters fled on foot through the alley.
