Team of Bandits Strike Athens Wal-Mart

Athens Police are looking for a team of bandits.

Detectives released this surveillance video from the Athens Wal-Mart.

The 3 women on your screen enter the department store.

One holds up khaki-colored pants while the other uses a key to open up the register.

Investigators say the women made off with two-thousand dollars earlier this week.

"The one lady in the white hat, uses a key, this is like a master key and it unlocks the register without any power and you see she just takes out the money, takes out the bag and then they're gone," says Athens Detective Heith Willis.

The women are believed to have committed similar crimes in Wal-Marts in Knoxville and Chattanooga.

If you have any information, call Athens Police at (423) 744-2729.
