SHERBURNE – A trip to Walmart proved to be the downfall of two alleged car thieves arrested Sunday after driving a stolen pick-up to the Norwich superstore.

Michael John Hicks, 22, of Sherburne, and Christina Marie Andersen, 24, were taken into custody at 9:30 p.m. Sunday in the store’s parking lot. The couple were in a 2007 GMC pick-up truck stolen sometime over the weekend from behind a business in the Town of Sherburne.

According to Lt. Richard Cobb of the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were able to track the couple to Walmart thanks to a tip received by the Sherburne Police Department and passed on to the sheriff’s office.
