The two were seen on in-store cameras walking in through the garden center. Along their way into the store, the tapes shows the two picked up a string trimmer, a push lawn mower and a leaf blower. Police say once inside the store, Harris and Evans placed a treadmill and a weight set into their cart. The two went to the front of the store, beyond the cash registers and out the door.
