Shoplifter uses Security Guard as a speed bump

Seems like Tulsa Shoplifters are not content with just shooting or stabbing Security Guards. They now use them for impromptu speed bumps during their getaway.

Three female shoplifting "suspects", after allegedly stealing from the Abercrombie and Fitch, used their car as a weapon, a blue Mitsubishi Galant. The trio first hit the guard with their car, pinning him to another car until they took off, running over and breaking his foot in the process. The trio were last seen fleeing the scene with a small child in the car with them.

If you have information on the whereabouts of the suspects call Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.
