Bags of Money Stolen from Jacksonville Walmart

JACKSONVILLE — Jacksonville Police say two bags of money were stolen from the Wal-Mart on the 1300 block of S. Jackson St. on Sunday night. It happened around 11:30 p.m., when the registers were being changed out and the bags were sitting on a counter. Police could not confirm the amount of money stolen, but Wal-Mart employees tell KETK it was at least $10,000. Witnesses say the thief was an African-American man who ran up behind the Wal-Mart employee and grabbed the bags while her back was turned. Jacksonville Police will be reviewing the security footage from the store to see if they can identify the thief, but officials say they do have a few possible leads.
