Cops: $26K lost in string of Walmart heists

A 28-year-old man accused of stealing more than $26,000 in merchandise from Walmart stores in Maricopa and Tucson faces at least four felony charges.

Maricopa police arrested Nibra White on Monday at the Walmart on Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway, where he allegedly shoplifted more than $5,300 worth of electronics between July 31 and Aug. 2, according to a probable cause statement.

During three Maricopa heists, White was allegedly seen “placing numerous electronics” in shopping carts and walking past registers before leaving the store without paying up. During the third incident, he showed a fake receipt on his cell phone to store employees when leaving the store Aug. 2.

Police said they easily identified White in security camera footage because, like most comic book villains, he wore the same outfit in the commission of his various crimes.

According to police, White had at least nine open shoplifting cases totaling north of $21,000 in stolen merchandise from multiple Tucson Walmart stores. In several of those cases, he also flashed fake receipts to store employees.

White was arrested and booked into the Pinal County jail on four felony shoplifting charges, as well as one count each of using an altered receipt and using a device to commit organized retail theft.

He remains behind bars on $10,000 bond and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
