Brighton men get great deal on meat
Police responded to a call of theft at 6:39 p.m. July 27 at the King Soopers located at 3801 E. 120th Ave. An employee of the store found two Brighton men, both 31 years old, switching price tags from other products in the store with some packages of meat, reports said. The two men allegedly went through the self-check out line and paid only $8.91 for $44.52 worth of meat. The two men were met outside by police and during a routine search, police said they found a bag of cocaine in the left front pants pocket of one of the men.
