OAK CREEK, WI — Oak Creek police responded to the Meijer on Drexel Town Square on Feb. 9 on a report of a retail theft that was much greater than the usual retail theft case.

According to the police report, a loss prevention officer informed police that two retail theft suspects entered the store on Feb. 8 just after 12:30 p.m. and stole 17 bottles of liquor valued at nearly $700.

They accomplished this dubious feat by placing bottle after bottle inside duffel bags that were placed open inside the shopping carts.
