The security manager of Shoe Carnival in Cermak Plaza reported two young women came in to fill out job applications. But after they left, the manager saw broken security sensors from shoes lying in the aisle. A review of surveillance video showed a nice likeness of the two job applicants industriously breaking sensors off three expensive pairs of athletic shoes, then stuffing the shoes into one girl's backpack and walking out. The thieves are described as black and in their late teens. The manager plans to call the number on the application and invite them for a job interview, at which time police will make their acquaintance --if the phone numbers they gave really exist.
