APB for exceptionally well-groomed thieves

Store security at a drug store in Northfield told police they saw a couple enter the store with empty bags, which they filled up with diapers, electric toothbrushes, whitening strips and shaving razors. As the couple walked toward the door, store employees told them the items they collected were unpaid for, but the couple said they walked into the store with those items, pushed past employees and entered a vehicle waiting near the entrance, police say, and drove off. The stolen items were valued at $1,000.
