CANYON COUNTY, Idaho — Flock and other surveillance cameras helped identify suspects accused of shoplifting at the Dollar General, according to a press release from the Wilder Police Department.
Officials say that at 9:25 a.m. on July 24, police responded to reports of shoplifting at the Dollar General Store in Wilder. Staff told police a male and female were responsible for the shoplifting. Police say the employees described the suspect vehicle and direction of travel. Officers reviewed surveillance video from inside the store.

Police say they identified the registered owner of the vehicle as the man involved in the incident. Then, police say they identified the female suspect involved.
Neither suspect was from Wilder.
