Avon Walmart Armed Robbery

[Doug]

I heard there were shoplifters carrying stuff out of Walmart and when an employee tried to stop them, one pointed a gun which made the crime armed robbery. Then I heard a crowd of people interfered with the Police when they tried to apprehend the culprits.
Anybody know if this is true?

I just searched DuckDuckGo and I'm not seeing anything about it. Where did you hear about it Doug?

Avon PD FB had the 411 on the 911. Could’ve got real bad real fast.

In an unrelated story: I now shop at the Danville Wal Mart.

Been shopping there since it opened...Avon Walmart has become Haughville in terms of type of shoppers there.

I stopped shopping at the Avon Walmart several years ago. Too many people, and too many problems.

In other news, the general public again jumped to conclusions without knowing the facts and made the situation worse for everyone. Nice work!

Saw it on the book of faces. Got kinda ugly for the 'burbs. Armed suspects, several cops, and an angry crowd hassling the cops.

We tend to avoid the US36 corridor any more. Traffic and whack-a-doodles.

I just saw tha Avon PD facebook report.
WOW!
The Avon Wal Mart just became off limits.
How is the Brownsburg Wal Mart?

As much as I hate to ask. . . . . . the usual suspects or new playahs?

I lived in Avon for 17 years. When I first moved there the local joke was that the cornfields grew better houses than corn. That Walmart was fine (as wally worlds go) for about 2yrs. Then it became west Indy. One dark evening I stopped there because I needed motor oil and hamburger buns. I fella in the parking lot approached from between two cars, "Hey big guy, come help me with my car." Um, no. That area is getting a bus line soon as I'm told. I'm sure that will only help the situation. Between the traffic and influx of grit, I wish I had moved sooner.

I stopped shopping at Walmart when they went all anti 2A a few years ago.

Unfortunately it’s too convenient to stop at WM sometimes. Not to mention the lowest prices on Fairlife milk. And at the rate my kids guzzle that stuff, I’ll take any break I can get.

But I’ve shopped at two WMs as one is closer to school and one close to home. Both on Emerson, but that’s where the similarity ends. The Beech Grove store is dirty, trashy, and sketchy af. There was a shooting there recently. The Greenwood store is high society in comparison. Friendly, clean, no ‘tude that i’ve seen, and folks that have put in the extra effort to help when needed.

Regardless, I minimize the stops at either one. Evil corporation anyway.

I've heard from some of the LEO on here that my regular Walmart (U.S. 31, just south of Southport) is pretty bad, but I've not really seen it, other than the usual Walmart denizens (weird, but mostly harmless). I guess I go early enough in the day that the freaks haven't come out yet.

Now that it's just me and the wife. Our food consumption has gone down considerably. Fortunately where we live there are options for groceries, Aldi, Meijer and Strack and Van Till. I'll venture into the local WM. It's just for grab and go stuff. The SA is pegged and of course I'm armed. You see some real characters in that place.

At that Wally World there were shots fired in the sporting goods dept over a month ago and shot fired in the parking where they lit up a car several times last week.

I think I heard about those. But I'm guessing that didn't happen at 9 or 10 in the morning, which is when I usually try and go.

Stopped shopping at Walmart pretty much all together quite some time back. Just prefer to purchase elsewhere for the most part, whenever I can. Not really a philosophical thing, but rather just found better sources for the stuff I need.
