Police are on the lookout for a group of female suspects who allegedly stole several shopping carts full of liquor from a Total Wine in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, reported Acadiana news outlet KLFY.

The incident occurred on Wednesday, April 5, just after 6 p.m. when multiple women tried to exit the store without paying for merchandise, according to East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office.
