Two people are facing felony charges Wednesday afternoon after police say they shoplifted a hefty amount of merchandise from an area shopping center.

Athen's city police say Tuesday, a Walmart security guard witnessed two women and a young boy leaving the store without paying for their items.

When stopped by the security guard, the suspects, Teresa Estep, Serena Craig-Cooper and the young boy were found with more than sixteen hundred dollars worth of stolen merchandise on them.

Estep and Craig-Cooper are charged with felony theft.

They are both out of the Southeast Ohio Regional Jail on bond.

The juvenile could also face charges for his involvement in the crime.
