Posted

Two shoplifters ran out of Hibbett Sports, North Main Street, with more than $1,000 worth of Nike clothing Wednesday, Shelbyville police were told.

The man and woman asked two employees to go to the back of the store and get shoes, then left with three jackets, three pairs of sweat pants, three hoodies, a pair of leggings and pair of shoes.

A manager described the man as black with a small cross tattooed under one eye and a clock tattooed on one hand. The woman was described only as having long black hair. They left in a gray Dodge Charger or Challenger, police said.

Also reported to area authorities:

  • A 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 sport utility vehicle was stolen from Madison Corporate Sales, Madison Street, overnight Thursday, Jan. 12, police said.
  • A thief riding a bicycle took a $15 box of three vape coils from a mailbox at Shelbyville Vapor, North Thompson Street, on Wednesday, Dec. 11.

  • A man who told a deputy he thought his cell phone would be safe if he left it on a concrete pillar outside Bedford County Judicial Center discovered otherwise Wednesday.
