Shoplifter attempts to stab security while fleeing www.privateofficer.com
ORANGE PARK, Fla. Dec. 15, 2007-- A shoplifting incident Thursday evening at Orange Park Mall became an armed robbery when one of the suspects pulled a knife and tried to stab a security guard, according to the Clay County Sheriff's Office.Deputies said a man and woman who attempted take a shopping cart with about $1,000 in merchandise out of the Sears store about 7:45 p.m. without paying. When they were confronted by a store loss-prevention officer, the man allegedly pulled a knife and attempted to stab the officer. They then ran out of the mall and sped off in a white Chevrolet pickup truck.Deputies pursued the pickup into Jacksonville, but broke off the chase for safety reasons. They later learned the vehicle was reported stolen. It was found abandoned Friday morning.
Clay County officials told Channel 4's Dan Leveton that these two are a threat to the community."He was so violent, by coming back and brandishing a knife," CCSO Sgt. Joey Jett said. "It was apparent they would do anything in attempt to get away with this merchandise."If and when caught, the pair faces charges of armed robbery, assault, grand theft and fleeing police.Detectives working the case released surveillance photos of the man and woman and hope that someone recognizes them.Anyone with any information that could help detectives is asked to call Detective Ken West at 904-213-6760.
