Arapahoe sheriff searching for 2 suspects in stabbing, robbery at Centennial Walmart

DENVER ( KDVR ) — The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a pair of alleged shoplifters after a stabbing and robbery at a Walmart in Centennial.

The sheriff’s office said the incident occurred at about 5:30 p.m. at the Walmart in the 16700 block of East Smoky Hill Road.

The agency said a male employee confronted a woman who was reportedly shoplifting, following her out to her car in an attempt to get the alleged stolen items back. A man got out of the vehicle the woman was going to and stabbed the male employee in the arm.

The couple then left in an early 2000s silver Toyota sedan with no license plates, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies searched the area but did not locate the vehicle.

Both suspects were described as white and in their 30s, and a surveillance image of the woman was provided. She reportedly has purple hair.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone who recognizes the suspects or their vehicle to call the Arapahoe County dispatch center at 303-795-4711.
