"This was not an armed robbery. There were no weapons, no physical contact, nobody hit by a car. It was basically a stealing," Hunn tells Patch. "It was a felony stealing because the tvs were in excess of five-hundred dollars."

Hunn said a security clerk followed the two men out the front door as they allegedly stole the tvs. He said the clerk told them to stop and tried to pull the cart away from the men, but they loaded the tvs in their green Jeep Liberty and drove off.
