The three men took part in a robbery spree at Walmart and Sam's Club locations across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, according to police.
Tilden Township police said the trio robbed the Tilden Walmart in October 2022 and threatened employees with a gun. The group filled two shopping carts with over $930 worth of merchandise, left through a fire exit and used a black Jeep Cherokee as an escape vehicle, according to authorities. The trio swapped out the tags on the Jeep with stolen plates in an attempt to avoid detection, police said.
Robbery, retail theft, terroristic threats and related charges were filed against Jahmir and Jamaal Mitchell on Wednesday.
