Mt. Juliet, Tenn. – Two shoplifting suspects were apprehended yesterday after they attempted to return items they did not purchase. On Sunday, December 27, 2015 around 2:40 p.m., officers were summoned to Best Buy, located at 401 S. Mt. Juliet Road, after vigilant loss prevention staff observed two suspects place return stickers on merchandise they just selected off the shelf.
The suspects originally entered Best Buy and acted as if they were going to return a GPS and Fitbit, which staff then placed return stickers on those items.
