MOBILE, Ala. — A shoplifter at a Walmart in Mobile got away last weekend after scaling a wall, breaking into the ceiling, then punching his way back out, as onlookers stood by, recording the scene.

The suspect was initially caught shoplifting by loss prevention officers, and detained in a security office. According to witnesses, he began banging on the office’s door, but then abruptly stopped. Then the alleged thief climbed on a desk, up into the drop ceiling attempting to make his escape Mission Impossible-style.

Shopper Brannan Lynn caught the whole ordeal on his cell phone.

“He sticks his feet through the ceiling by the entrance door, hangs himself on top of the door frame, jumps down and somehow gets away with 30 people standing around him,” Lynn said. “It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.”

The suspect then ran to a red car and got away.

Police reportedly say he allegedly stole a debit card, shoes, hat, watch and underwear.
