MOULTRIE — Moultrie police are asking for the public’s help in identifying two men thought to be connected with an Oct. 12 theft of multiple television sets from a Moultrie retail store. The two entered Wal-Mart, 641 Veterans Parkway S., in the early hours of the morning, Sgt. Justin Lindsay said. The two, who were picked up on store video, are suspected of taking two televisions.

“The TVs were stolen, and they went out a fire exit at the back of the store,” Lindsay said.
