MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — Two people were arrested over the weekend after allegedly conspiring to steal from a Walmart store in Mobile, according to the Mobile Police Department.
Around 6:24 p.m. Friday, officers responded to the Walmart at 101 East I-65 Service Road following reports of a theft in progress.
Investigators said a man and woman were seen switching barcodes on clothing items so that the register would scan them at a lower price.

Police said both were taken to Mobile Metro Jail. No injuries were reported, and the case remains under investigation.
