Jacksonville — St. Johns County deputies are searching for three men who posed as maintenance workers to steal a claw machine from a Walmart in St. Augustine.
According to an incident report, a repair man came to service the claw machine at the store located at 2355 US 1 South in St. Johns County, when he noticed the machine was missing.
After contacting his manager, who said they did not take the machine, he told an assistant manager at Walmart that it was missing.
