Here is what happened...

On March 26th, shortly after 1 pm, this couple entered the CVS store and made no purchase. The woman was carrying a bag.

An employee then found two empty boxes on a shelf which had contained bathrobes, so she took a look at security video and determined the couple had stolen the bathrobes (a theft of about $50) total.

If you recognize either or both of these people:
1. We would be amazed and impressed, and...
2. We would like for you to contact Detective Scheidegg at 863-577-1600 or cscheidegg@polksheriff.org
