HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) - Eight Nebraska teenagers are facing theft charges because police say they worked together to steal more than $1,700 in merchandise from the Wal-Mart where they worked as cashiers.
The Grand Island Independent reports (https://bit.ly/2ivdySD ) tickets were handed out to the suspects after a Hastings Police detective spent Wednesday at the store.
Hastings Police Sgt. Brian Hessler says the teens would go to a checkout line manned by one of the other people in the group, and that cashier would either void the item or just pretend to scan it.
