MIAMI (CBSMiami) - Police in Miami are looking for a pair of crooks who stole a wallet and then tried to use a stolen credit card at a Walgreens.

Police say the robbery took place on June 20th near Southwest 31st Avenue and 19th Terrace. That's where the men struck the victim, who fell to the ground before his wallet was stolen.

A few minutes later, the two men were spotted trying to use the stolen card at a Walgreens near Coral Way and 22nd Avenue.

"I just want to make sure we get these suspects off the street because they are doing bad," said Miami police spokesperson Mike Vega. "These two suspects were walking across the street from our victim and then he saw this one with the white hoodie pull down his hoodie so felt something bad might happen, so he started walking the opposite way. When he turned around the 2 suspects were on him."

One man slapped the victim causing him to fall on the ground. They took his phone and book bag. Then, oddly, they returned the book bag to him.

"What's odd about this case is that after they took what they wanted, they took his phone and wallet, that they would give it back to him and this one would come back and said give me your wallet. He was determined to get his wallet," Vega said.

Police have a detailed description of these two thieves, one of them wearing a grey hoodie and the other a black t-shirt. They are 20 to 25 years old, police said.

Both suspects fled on foot.

The victim, who is from Pompano Beach, is eager to see these men caught.
