Police detain 2 accused of stealing from Walmart in Franklin, trying to elude capture

The theft is said to have occurred at the Walmart Superstore off state Route 73. A police officer spotted the fleeing vehicle and followed it to a cul-de-sac nearby.

The driver turned onto another street, apparently not realizing that second street was a dead-end as well. A turn onto a third cul-de-sac, Highridge Court, ended in the crash.

The incident was reported just after 9:30 p.m.
