“On their way out of the store, the greeter on duty attempted to stop them. One suspect stopped to talk to the employee while the other kept moving with their cart, telling her that they had brought the items in to return them but that nobody was at the customer service desk so they were leaving,” police said.
When the woman asked to see the man’s return sticker, police said the suspect pretended to not be able to understand her and kept walking.
