COLUMBUS, GA - Walmart employees stopped a teen from stealing Tuesday afternoon and caught him with some interesting merchandise.

Police say they were called out to the Buena Vista Rd. Walmart around 3:45 p.m. on Jan. 22 in reference to a shoplifting.

A loss prevention officer had a 16 year-old teen detained after she saw him pick out a box of ribbed Trojan brand condoms and hide them in his pocket. The officer also saw him eat a pack of cheddar Ruffles potato chips while walking around in the store.
