BERRYVILLE - Two Berryville men have been charged with theft of property for allegedly stealing $1,200 worth of video games from Wal-Mart and selling them next door at the "Game Stop" store.

Kyle Ramer, 18, and Sam Hess, 21, were allegedly caught on camera removing video games from their cases and stuffing the games down their pants.

Detective Robert Bartos, with the Berryville Police Department, said he was asked to head up the investigation after store employees found empty game boxes.

"I watched the video of the suspects putting CDs down their pants," he said, "and was able to identify them."

The link to Game Stop was discovered by Wal-Mart's loss prevention person, Bartos said.

"While he was in Game Stop, he asked if they had any large amounts of video games come in, Bartos explained. "They said yes, and it all matched what had been taken."

According to Bartos, the thefts occurred in a week's time. He said Ramer was responsible for the bulk of the thefts, but Hess was part of it.

Bartos said he is currently investigating a break-in at the storage buildings located next to Diamond B Feed on Ark. Hwy. 21 South.

He said the break-in was discovered last Saturday. Locks were cut on four units and property removed. "We believe it happened mid to late last week," he said. "Anyone with information should call us."
