Upon arrival, police spoke with the loss prevention staff who states that two suspects were removing the security devices from items and concealing them within the store. Loss prevention had video footage of the males taking two computer monitors and a hoodie sweatshirt (total value of $297.98) without paying for the items.

 

The surveillance footage also showed the following: Both males were dropped off by an unknown dark-colored sedan and entered the store. One male then exits the rear emergency exit with a cart containing the items. Once outside, the male takes the items out of the shopping cart and carries them away out of frame. Ten minutes later, he returns and meets up with the second male and both parties leave together. It is unclear if the merchandise was recovered.

 

Both males were taken into custody and charged.
