Two Marietta men who were allegedly part of a shoplifting crime spree in that Cobb County city have been arrested.
Investigators discovered Christopher T. Higgins and John D. Stiltz were responsible for multiple shoplifting incidents at Walmart and Target stores on Cobb Parkway and then pawning the stolen items at local pawn shops, Marietta police spokesman David Baldwin said Thursday.
The spree started Oct. 11 and ended Oct. 15, when police were called to the Walmart at 1785 Cobb Pkwy. in response to a shoplifting incident involving two men in a green Volkswagen Jetta, Baldwin said.
Stiltz was arrested that day and Higgins was arrested Oct. 21 while inside a Target store on Cobb Parkway, both on multiple shoplifting and theft by deception charges.
“The investigation is expanding and further charges are pending,” Baldwin said.
