Longmont police are requesting the public’s help in identifying two men who pushed full carts out of Walmart without paying Sunday night.

One of the men — wearing a blue, long-sleeved shirt — reportedly punched a male employee in his 60s before exiting the store about 8:30 p.m. at 2285 E. Ken Pratt Blvd., Cmdr. Joel Post said.

Surveillance footage showed the men fleeing in a white, four-door SUV. They were last seen heading northbound on Weld County Road 1, Post said.

Post said their two carts contained more than 140 clothing, food and electronic items.

He said the assault — coupled with shoplifting — could make the misdemeanor a felony robbery charge. He said the man who threw the punch could face felony assault against an at-risk adult.

Police are asking for anyone who can identify the men to call detectives at 303-651-8523 and reference report #16-9776.
