The Stockbridge Police Department is asking for the public's help to identify a suspect accused of attempting to steal merchandise alongside two minors from a local Walmart store.

What we know:

According to police, a woman and two minors entered the Walmart located at 5600 N. Henry Blvd. on July 1.

Loss prevention reported that the group selected multiple items while shopping. The woman then left the store while the two minors went to the apparel section and began placing items into bags, the Stockbridge Police Department added. 

One of the minors attempted to push the loaded shopping cart out of the store but was stopped by a store employee, authorities said. 

When asked to show a receipt, police said the minor abandoned the cart and merchandise and ran away.

Authorities said the woman and the two minors got into a black Dodge Challenger with Georgia license plate SLQ0654. Investigators noted the registration plate did not return to a female owner.

What we don't know:

The identities and exact ages of the two minors involved have not been released.

It is unclear if the group is suspected in similar shoplifting incidents in the area.
