MOUNT CARMEL TOWNSHIP - A man and woman who were caught shoplifting at CVS Pharmacy Friday afternoon fled the scene after being confronted by a store employee, according to Mount Carmel Township Police.
Township Patrolman David Stamets Jr. reported that video surveillance of the two people show they entered the West Third Street store at approximately 3:50 p.m. and started putting miscellaneous items into their pockets and the woman's purse.
An assistant manager, who was not identified by police, confronted the couple, but they would not initially admit to their crime, Stamets said.
The male then said, "You can't do anything. All I'm going to get is a ticket in the mail," and then they ran from the store, Stamets reported.
It is not been determined how much merchandise they were able to take from the store, but there is video surveillance being studied, he said.
There was not any physical interaction between the employees and the two individuals, he said.
The male and female look to be in their early to mid 20s with dark-colored hair and white skin. The male has facial hair and was wearing a grey DC Shoe sweatshirt and jeans. The woman was wearing a light red shirt with a light-colored jacket and jeans, and she was carrying a purse.
