Police say Walmart thief impersonated employee in several Wisconsin stores
Police say a team of Madison thieves took iPads from multiple Walmarts using a
scheme in which one of them impersonated a store employee. The suspects
allegedly made off with merchandise from the Lake Delton Walmart in early March.
But they were allegedly caught pulling the same heist in Janesville a few days
later, which allowed local investigators to identify them in surveillance videos
at the local store. The Sauk County District Attorney’s Office has filed felony
retail theft charges against 24-year-old Victor M. Davis and 54-year-old
Kathleen A. Rynes, both of Madison. (Source
