Staff report

A pair of shoplifters trying to stock up on chewing tobacco, didn't count on some determined Food Lion employees.

Salisbury Police report that the theft occurred around 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Food Lion, 525 W. Jake Alexander Blvd.

Two people took six cases of Redman chewing tobacco, worth $264, according to police.

Employees followed them as they left the store.

One of the employees then got in a car and followed the green older model Pontiac with the two shoplifting suspects and the tobacco along Jake Alexander Boulevard until it got on Interstate 85.

At some point Salisbury Police were notified, and police were waiting at Exit 79.

Woodle Kasey Wynne, 27, and Billy Eugene Kennedy, 31, were charged with misdemeanor larceny.

Police recovered the six cases of tobacco — undisturbed.
