Galesburg Police around 10:00 am on Sunday, January 30th were dispatched to Walmart in Galesburg in reference to two subjects in custody for attempted theft. Officers arrived and met with Asset Protection Employees at the store. Employees said 56-year old Darcy Hart of Galesburg failed to self-scan numerous items while 23-year old Hariet Hart of Galesburg bagged the items. The female subjects were stopped after the final point of sale by employees and were taken to the Asset Protection office. Both subjects were being cooperative with employees. Darcy Hart initially denied not scanning items and said if an item didn’t scan, it was by accident, according to police reports. The Harts were informed that 26 items did scan and 38 did not – leading police and employees to believe it was not an accident. Security video showed that no attempt to scan the items was made. Darcy and Hariet Hart were each charged with Retail Theft less than $300.
