The Polk County Sheriff's Office is investigating a retail theft that occurred at the Mulberry Walmart on May 5th, just before 2pm.
In the video, you can see the suspect gathering collectible cards such as Pokemon and Magic:The Gathering. She then put those cards into her cart and attempted to steal them.
It was so many cards that it qualified as a felony.
She was confronted at the exit by an employee, and the woman ditched the cart and fled.
