EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. (KMOX) - A failed suspected shoplifting was caught on video at a sporting good store in the Metro East and it's gone viral.
It happened on Saturday at the Hibbett Sports on Troy Road in Edwardsville around 4:30 p.m., according to Fox 2. Multiple women ran out of the store with a handful of clothes according to police. But the last one didn't make it in the getaway car.
A video shared on TikTok went viral and has more than 2.6 million views after it was posted Monday (*VIDEO CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE*):
The other women involved in the incident were still at large as of Tuesday morning and anyone with information on the case is asked to call investigators at 618-656-2131.
Police say the suspects were recognized by employees from previous thefts and they called about the suspicious customers.
The woman who was arrested after police chased her down is also wanted in Missouri for failure to appear in court for previous thefts. Edwardsville police are hoping the Illinois State Attorney's Office will seek a felony charge of theft against her.
