The pair, described as a Black man and Black woman, were allegedly seen stealing shoes from the Famous Footwear store on West Lincoln Highway on May 1, according to West Whiteland police.
An observant employee approached the man and asked him to return the shoes he was hiding, police said.
The man responded by telling the employee he had a gun and threatened to shoot him and "blow up the store," police said.
The pair then fled the store with the merchandise.
No gun was ever seen on the man, police said.
