Mesa police responded to a local department store after store security personnel caught six people Sunday stealing and some of them were store employees.
Police arrested several of them at the store but also said that they are looking for two others suspected of stealing merchandise from a retail store on multiple occasions.

According to reports, a 16-year-old Mervyn’s store employee assisted the suspects in the thefts by a scheme known in the retail industry as “slide-thru” or “under-ringing”.
Police say the subjects would bring numerous items to the register, some very high ticket items and the clerk would take between $15 and $25 for each transaction, and in one case, took no money at all.

Three adults and three juveniles were charged and more than $5,000 worth of merchandise was recovered, according to police.

Two suspects are reportedly still outstanding along with approximately $2,300 in merchandise.
Police did not release the names of those involved.
