The St Joseph Police Department is searching for individuals involved in a stolen vehicle theft that was recovered at S. Belt Walmart Monday morning.

Sgt. Roy Hoskins said officers responded to S. Belt Walmart at 9:45 a.m. after a woman reported finding her stolen vehicle occupied in the store parking lot.

The Silver Honda CRV was first reported stolen Oct. 25th.

When officers arrived on scene Hoskins said the suspects, a tall thin white male wearing a gray jacket, jeans and a black hat with a green bill and a white female with dark hair, wearing a pink shirt under a black shirt, jeans and white shoes ran from the Honda and jumped into a Gold Chevy Silverado Pickup.

The driver of the pickup drove over the curb and almost struck an officer as the suspects tried to make an escape.  A description of the driver of the pickup was not obtained by police. Hoskins said police did not pursue due to safety concerns for citizens with the reckless way the driver tried to flee from police.

When officers processed the stolen Honda a variety of weapons were recovered. The individuals are currently believed to be armed and dangerous.

“Definitely don’t approach them,” said Hoskins. “Get as much information as you can, description, license plates, but definitely don’t try to approach them yourself.”

He said if anyone has information to contact the TIPS Hotline at (816) 238-TIPS.
