Redding Police say they captured a couple of snatch-and-run beer thieves Tuesday afternoon. At around 5 O’clock an adult male and a teenage boy, each carrying cases of beer, walked past the registers at WinCo on their way to the front door. When an employee confronted them, the juvenile threw a glass bottle at the employee and both of the thieves ran to a car in the parking lot and fled at high speed. The RPD posted pictures on social media and they were soon tipped off to 24-year-old Cody Pierson and a juvenile accomplice. Both were arrested at their homes.
