If these thieves are caught, they're going to have to answer to a higher authority than just a judge and jury.

Some bandits in Missouri's South County were captured on surveillance fleeing a Dick's Sporting Goods with merchandise they stole, with one of them barreling over a nun on their way out.

The man who ran over the nun reportedly had about $3,000 worth of North Face jackets.

The theft is part of a larger pattern -- they've knocked over at least four stores, making off with thousands of dollars worth of goods.

The nun almost hit her head while she was shoved aside. She is doing okay and avoided any serious injury.
