The Harlan Police Department reports two people were arrested last week following an investigation into a shoplifting incident. On Feb. 19th, officers were called to Do It Best Hardware store for a reported shoplifting incident. Upon officers’ arrival, the suspects were gone. Police reviewed surveillance video and got a description of the suspects and their clothing.
