Choosy thieves foiled by shouting

CHICAGO - Chicago police said an attempted shoe robbery was foiled when back room workers heard the attempted thieves shouting the sizes they wanted to steal.

The Clothing Zone workers phoned police and Brandon Loving and Antoine Irby were arrested, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Tuesday. A third suspect fled the scene.

Police Detective Debra Sanello said the three men -- two armed -- entered the store and instructed employees to stay down on the floor. Sanello said the men grabbed clothing from the racks but alerted back room workers when they shouted about shoe sizes.

"We only want 10s and 11s," Sanello quoted the men as shouting.
