Lee County Sheriff's deputies chased down two black males Saturday who were said to have shoplifted from the Wal Mart in Lee County.

Officers tell Fox 31 News that a witness had told them they had seen the two with a gun in the Wal Mart parking lot. However, when cops made one arrest around 3:00 p.m. and the second shortly after, they reported no gun was found on either suspect. Police did find CO2 cartridges on the suspects, which are used in pellet pistols.

The two suspects are age 15 and 16 and are charged with shoplifting and two counts each of obstruction of an officer.
