By Rebekah Sungala 2 min read

State police have identified two men accused of stealing more than $3,000 worth of merchandise from the Super Walmart story in South Union Township over a two-day period in July. Trooper Craig Soltis said Erik Roux of Washington and James Delbusso face charges of retail theft and conspiracy to commit retail theft.

According to Soltis, the two men allegedly entered the store on two different occasions and stole numerous computer software applications and video games.

The theft occurred between 6:43 p.m. July 3 and 9:18 a.m. July 5, according to police.

Soltis said one of the men would shop inside the store and would slide the items under the fence in the lawn and garden section of the store into the parking lot.

The other man would drive a vehicle to where the merchandise was laying, pick it up, and then leave the area.

Soltis said the men were able to steal approximately $3,100 worth of merchandise over the two-day period.

Police obtained arrest warrants for both men on Thursday, noting that both men allegedly admitted to committing the thefts.

Soltis said Delbusso turned himself in to police and was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Joseph M. George Jr.

He was released on a $1,000 unsecured bond.

Roux, according to Soltis, is currently being held in the Washington County Prison on unrelated retail theft charges.

Roux is scheduled to be arraigned before George on Tuesday.
