SLIDELL, La. — The Slidell Police Department arrested two women on Interstate 10 near Mississippi Friday for stealing from Walmart.
Police say a witness followed the suspects as they attempted to flee on I-10.
I-10 was closed for hours after a raging grassfire around mile marker 8 and caused major traffic delays.
Despite the traffic, Slidell Police made their way through it to arrest the suspects.
"✌️2 in custody! A combination of bad luck, a persistent witness, pettiness, and just a little bit of skill got two more thieves behind bars. #SlidellsFinest," Slidell Police said in a Facebook post.
