Manchester Police Looking for Knife-Wielding Wal-Mart TV Thieves

MANCHESTER, CT — Manchester police are searching for knife-wielding bandits who stole a large-screen television from the Buckland Hills Wal-Mart after threatening a worker.

The incident took place at 4 p.m. on Jan. 26, police said. Two men left the Wal-Mart store at 420 Buckland Hills Drive without paying for a 50-inch, flat-screen TV.
