    (Published June 30, 2009) Two Wal-Mart employees chased a shoplifter to the store's parking lot Saturday, but stopped when the man pulled a knife on them, police say.

    The man didn't get away with any merchandise, but tried to steal $61 in garden supplies, according to a report from the York Police Department. The suspect came to the store on East Liberty Street with previously-used Wal-Mart bags and an old receipt from another store, an employee told police.

    That employee watched the man take items from the shelves and put them in the plastic bags, the report said. He confronted the man, and the chase began, which included one other employee.
