That second suspect, arms full of boxed bags of Cheez-It crackers, drops the snacks as he struggles to open the door to flee. He then collects a majority the fallen munchies (an apparent mix of original flavor and the white cheddar variety) before leaving the scene, along with the other suspect, in a silver SUV.
