Lincoln Crime Stoppers is seeking the public’s help in identifying suspects in two separate cases. One involving a rampant wooden pallet thief, the other involving man police believe is connected to a group of Walmart Apple product shoplifters.
The first case occurred on February 13, 2025, at the Tractor Supply Company on Amber Hill Court, near 91st and Nebraska Parkway.
Audio-Video Analyst for the Lincoln Police Department Jared Minary says the company reported an individual had been entering their parking lot in the middle of the night and loading up their flatbed trailer full of wooden pallets.
This has been happening for a couple of months and they believe this suspect has walked away with more than 1,000 pallets in total. On this particular night, there were over 150 pallets grabbed from behind the store.
The suspect has been driving a black pickup truck with a flatbed trailer towed behind. Photo and video are available below.
The second case occurred at the Walmart near 84th and Nebraska Parkway.
Minary says a male reportedly picked up two series 10 Apple Watches and two Apple Air Pod Pros and deceived the employees by claiming it was a “Spark Order” and exited the store without paying.
Spark is a delivery service used by Walmarts in some areas instead of other delivery services such as Door Dash.
The man was seen being dropped off and picked up by a white Chrysler Town and Country. Police believe it may had had Florida plates similar to KCB198.
Investigators suspect this individual is a part of a group of five individuals that have been targeting Walmart stores across Lincoln, Omaha, York, Crete, and Grand Island. Two members of this group have been identified and are from Michigan, so they are believed to be doing this nationwide.
Aside from their identities, Police would also like to know what they are doing with the stolen merchandise and their current locations.
Photos are available below.
