According to a Greenwich Police report, a trio of men entered the shop at 160 Post Rd. before 7 p.m. Feb. 21 and were "recognized by the manager as shoplifters from previous events" at the store. The manager called police and several officers arrived, surrounding the building.
Officers found two men inside the store and a third walking through an adjacent parking lot.
Lt. Kraig Gray said two of the suspects were found to have "keys of a proprietary design fro Radio Shack that only Radio Shack employees can have to unlock display cases" with expensive merchandise.
