Police said the pair entered a convenience store at 4:35 a.m. that day near the corner of Highway 121 and N. Beach Street. The man stole food, according to police, as the woman walked around the store.

The male suspect then walked outside and placed the stolen items inside a black four-door Mercedes Benz sedan, according to police. He then returned and the pair tried to buy something but a worker confronted them. Both suspects grew agitated by this, police said. That's when the woman punched the worker several times as the male suspect tried to steal again before they took off in the sedan.

Anyone who recognizes these suspects is asked to call 817-392-4378 or CrimeStoppers at 817-469-TIPS (8477).
