A Texas couple has been detained about a $1 million theft from a Texas Walmart.
Ryan Munoz and Carmelo Amigleo, both 18 years old and from San Angelo, were arrested without incident on Sunday. The two are accused of stealing more than $1 million from a Walmart over a year, according to the San Angelo Police Department.
The police have not said if the theft comprised money, merchandise, or both. SAPD Chief Travis Griffith stated the $1 million was stolen by “employees” in a press conference on Monday, although he did not clarify whether the two suspects were Walmart employees.

An investigation began on July 24 after police were tipped off to a large-scale theft at the San Angelo Walmart. On July 28, officers discovered evidence in surrounding residences and issued search warrants for the two males, who were detained shortly after.
Griffith invited local folks to offer anonymous information about the continuing probe during a press conference on Monday.
