UPDATE: One shoplifter was arrested and another fled after they stole $1,600 worth of coats from Macy's Saturday and then drove into a snowbank, police said.
According to Moorestown Police, the two men stuffed seven coats into two bags, then fled the mall in an Avis rental car. They promptly slammed the car into a snowbank nearby and fled on foot.
