Wal-Mart incident elevated to robbery

A simple shoplifting charge was elevated to robbery in a Sept. 24 incident at Wal-Mart, a police report said.

A man had stolen small items and was leaving the store when another man attempted to stop him to make a citizens' arrest; the thief pushed his accuser, according to the report. California law defines robbery as taking property "by means of force or fear."

No arrest has been made.

Also, two bicycle rims worth $6,000 were stolen from a shop in the 700 block of Main Street Sept. 21.
