The video shows one suspect using his arm to secretly drag the device to the desk edge and out of sight of the cashier. The other suspect put the device in her back pocket.
The officer was able to identify on e suspect because she used an out-or-state ID to make the refund. Video of the parking lot showed the vehicle they left in.
The victim said the device would have no value at a pawn shop because it was programmed only for that store.
