by Staff Reports

Boone police have arrested two men on suspicion that they stole an electric cart from Walmart.


At about 4:30 p.m. Feb. 16, two men entered the store in Boone, both riding electric shopping carts. After shopping, one man parked his cart while the other drove his cart out of the store.


Both suspects loaded the cart into a silver station wagon and left the scene, according to police.


Police issued a Crimestoppers alert about the theft in February and received numerous tips about the suspects.
