Whitefish police dealt with thefts in bulk Sunday night and Monday. The first came Sunday night at the Whitefish Mountain Mall, where somebody discovered his skateboard was missing. The group went looking for it and spotted it in the back of a Jeep parked at the Mountain Cinema.

The ruse was foiled when the 20-year-old woman and 21-year-old man, both from Whitefish, were arrested on suspicion of theft.
