Three Arrested For Shoplifting At Lincoln Best Buy

Lincoln Police arrested three people from Omaha for a string of shopliftings dating back to October.  Captain Todd Kocian says the latest incident happened at the Best Buy on at 69th and O Street around Thursday afternoon.

He says two men and a woman walked in around 1:30 and stole two routers and a smart speaker valued at more than $1,000. The trio then left the area in a blue Chevy Malibu.  A short time later a Nebraska State Patrol trooper stopped the car on I-80 near Waverly.

 28-year-old Khalil Turley,  25-year-old Darren Smith and 22-year-old Ckoriea Bush were arrested for several counts of theft by shoplifting.  Kocian says they were involved in a number of thefts in the past three months.  The total loss in those cases was more than $14,000.

The items taken from the Best Buy were recovered and the investigation is continuing.
