(KAIR)--Two arrests are made in connection with what authorities say was a theft scheme at the Atchison Wal-Mart.

In custody are 33-year-old Holly Fargo and 30-year-old Jessica Mottin, both of Atchison.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News Fargo was an employee at the store, and is accused of assisting Mottin with the thefts.

Fargo was arrested Wednesday on an Atchison County District Court Warrant for two counts of theft by aiding another.

Mottin was arrested Thursday on an Atchison County District Court Warrant for five counts of felony theft.

The crimes are alleged to have occurred November 22, 23, and 25, and December 5 and 12, 2018.

Wilson said Fargo’s charges stem from the November 22 and 23 thefts, having allegedly assisted Mottin.

He said on the additional dates, Mottin used the self checkout at the store but did not make the proper payment. Wilson said Fargo was working when that occurred.

Mottin, who has prior theft convictions, is alleged to have stolen hundreds of dollars worth of items during the scheme.

Following their arrests, both Fargo and Mottin were booked into the Atchison County Jail.

Mottin remains in custody, held on a $10,000 bond.

Fargo is currently free on a $1,500 bond.
