Albertville arrested three suspects, including two young teens, in two separate shoplifting incidents involving BB guns Friday at Kmart.

The teens tried to steal a BB gun, according to police Chief Benny Womack.

Authorities charged the 13- and 14-year-old boys with third-degree shoplifting, Womack said. Police also charged the 14-year-old with obstructing governmental operations.

Loss prevention officers from Kmart reported observing the pair trying to conceal the gun and BBs.

• In a separate incident, Albertville police arrested Jerry Dwayne Meeks Jr., 31, of 102 Meeks Drive, Grant, on a charge of third-degree shoplifting.

Meeks allegedly stole a BB gun, BBs, a few small iPod cases and compressed air cartridges from Kmart on Friday night.

• In another report, Albertville police are investigating the theft of $3,100 in Little Debbie snacks from a storage unit on Baltimore Avenue over the weekend.
