They left in a car driven by a third man, which officers spotted parked nearby.
Items believed to be from the store were seen in the car, which was then searched, with officers turning up a haul of clothing, perfume, food and toys they said were stolen.
鈥淎ll of these items have been returned to their respective stores,鈥 a police spokesperson said.
Shoplifting charges were laid against three men aged 31, 34 and 33. The 33-year-old also faces a charge of aggravated assault.
All three men were scheduled to appear in the District Court today.
