A shoplifting incident in Pueblo turns into an aggravated robbery.

Police say it happened Tuesday at the Sears Department Store in the Pueblo Mall.

Three suspects were involved.

One of them is behind bars.

Now police need your help capturing the other two.

Detective Mark Duran says, "Shoplifting gone bad."

Clothes, shoes and jewelry. That's what the three suspects were trying to steal.

Det. Duran says, "They are armed and should be considered dangerous."

23 Year old Ryan Lee May, now behind bars, was left in the dust by his accomplices.

Police say the other two hopped in a getaway car, but not before giving the security guards a good scare.

"The driver of the silver Envoy pulled out a weapon and pointed it at the security guards", says Det. Duran.

That's when May shouted out orders that thankfully were not carried out.

Det. Duran says, "The individual that was being detained yelled out to the driver, 'shoot him, shoot him, shoot him.'"

No one was hurt and the stolen items were recovered.

Police are looking for a white male in his early 20's and a Hispanic female also in her 20's.

Detectives say the license plates on the silver Envoy are stolen.

They read, 260-KEE.

Call police if you see that plate number.

Detectives say May is keeping his mouth shut about the other two suspects.

If you have any information, please call Pueblo Crimestoppers at 542-STOP.

You don't have to give your name and you could earn a cash reward.

"shoot him, shoot him, shoot him"... WOW this terd wanted to end someones life so he could get away (for a little while) with some petty merchandise. I am in total agreement with Stephen... What is the world comming too? Everybody and thier brother is sporting a weapon and it seems like no big deal to point and shoot and try to get away with it. Punishments for having an illegal firearm should be tripled and Pointing/Discharging a firearm at another person (regardless if it's a fatal shot or not) should be treated as attempted murder and the book should be slammed so hard on thier heads that thier entire family can feal it.

What do you know, a cop actually got off his ass and didn't say " there's nothing we can do. " I think if the cops were actually cops instead of Captain Kangaroo's little helpers we'd get a lot more out of them. Maybe.

One of the security guards May yelled to shoot is a husband and new father. May and his friends should be shaved, sterilized, and destroyed.
