A woman who tried to shoplift $727.86 in merchandise from a Michigan Walmart over the weekend didn't get very far — namely because 75 police officers were in the store for a "Shop with a Cop" charity event.

What are the details? State troopers from the Brighton Post were participating in Saturday's event at the Walmart Store in Genoa Township, police said. Genoa Township is about an hour northwest of Detroit.

Police said Shop with a Cop gives area children, through donations from local businesses, an opportunity to partner with police officers and shop for themselves and family.

"We bring children that might otherwise not have a good Christmas get to come to the store," Lt. Rene Gonzalez of the Michigan State Police told WJBK-TV. "They get $100, sometimes a $150 gift card to go and shop for themselves or family."

Cannot discern from the article if she tried to make her getaway in a horse-drawn buggy, but that’s prolly the case.

They will release her name and portrait after she is charged. I am curious to see if she’s a tweeker or a member of the race of professional victims.

Exactly, what did the perp look like?! (Although I probably already know the answer to that question).
