LONGMONT – Longmont police say two sisters brought a 2-year-old child along while they stole $600 worth of merchandise from Walmart and assaulted a loss-prevention associate Saturday afternoon.

Police say Isabel Sanchez, 21, and Nakia Sanchez, 18, were spotted putting stolen merchandise in a handbag inside the store. When the suspects were attempting to leave, the loss-prevention associate approached them.

According to an arrest report, the employee was jumped from behind by Nakia. The 18-year-old suspect then grabbed the associate by her hair, which made her fall, and then dragged her outside where the associate was punched repeatedly by both suspects.

Police say Isabel's 2-year-old daughter was present during the entire incident. They say Isabel was holding her daughter while she attacked the associate.

The two were arrested just hours after the incident. Police say Nakia spat on a Lonmont officer during the arrest.

The two suspects both face robbery, third-degree assault and child abuse charges. Nakia is facing an additional charge of second-degree assault for spitting at the officer.

The child was placed into the care of child protective services.
