MOBILE, AL. An off-duty Mobile police officer working security at the Walmart Supercenter, located at 5245 Rangeline Road on Friday, August 28, 2026, at approximately 1:00 p.m. noticed several people working together to conceal products without paying for them.
The officer was able to detain the three people in the loss prevention office. While investigating the theft, the officer noticed that the people in custody were possibly wanted for several home burglaries and contacted a detective to respond to the store.
Between Sunday, August 9, 2026, and Saturday, August 15, 2026, two unknown subjects unlawfully entered a residence located in the 6800 block of Wigfield Road and removed items not belonging to any of the subjects.
A detective responded to the store and determined that property from the residential burglary was also in their possession, and it was recovered and returned to the victim.
Police subsequently arrested Lerinzer Watkins Jr., 33, Corey Womack, 34, and Dylan Cox, 34, and they were transported to Metro Jail.
The three have been charged with 3 Counts of Burglary and Organized Retail Theft.
