WESTFIELD – While it is no laughing matter, the Westfield Detective Bureau put up a light-hearted post on its Facebook page asking for help in identifying some thieves.
The Westfield police logs showed that at 1:07 a.m. on Sunday, January 17, police were called to Walmart, located at 141 Springfield Road, after a television set was stolen.
As written on Facebook: “If you happen to be one of these men and you would like to explain how you accidentally ran out of the alarmed back door of Wal-Mart dragging a 65-inch television and loaded it into a pick up truck that was waiting for you please feel free to call as well.”
This could appropriately be followed by an “LOL” or as one person commented: “Shared, and thank you because while the incident is not funny your post sure was, and I needed a smile today. Be safe WPD!”
To add to the humor, another person posted: “Did they grab Pepsi and Doritos for the game as well?”
If anyone can identity one or all of these men, please contact Detective Freeman at 413-642-9388 or [email protected].
Westfield police said names will always remain confidential.
