SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Police in South Charleston are asking for the public's help to catch a couple bold men who stole nine laptop computers from a busy store.

Take a look at the surveillance video and still pictures below. It's from the Wal-Mart at the Southridge Shopping Center.

Police say two men pried open the computer case with a crow bar at about 7:30 Friday night, put the laptops in a plastic tote, and then smuggled them out of the store.

One of the pictures shows a very clear image of one of the suspects.

Detectives say the men were driving a maroon Dodge pickup truck with a big cab.

The computers that were stolen are worth about seven thousand dollars.

Call the South Charleston Police at (304) 744-5951 if you have any information about the suspects in the surveillance photos.

if someone stole a $40.00 pair of shoes how much would it cost the store?

They couldn't find a clerk to check them out or the lines were to long because they only have 2 clerks on duty. So they decided that it must be free. I usually have to check myself out which I think people that have to check themselves out should get a discount on the merchandice they purchase! WalMart you need more employees at the registers. I never wait in line at Target. That is why I shop at Target most of the time.

Where is the "Loss Prevention" of Wal-Mart? Are they "asleep" or having "coffee" with the girls? This is crazy!!!
