When police arrived, they spoke with the store manager who said two unknown men entered the store around 3:55 p.m. Saturday.
“The males both grabbed shopping carts and rapidly went through the store loading items into the carts,” the report said. “After placing items into shopping carts, the suspects proceeded into the stock room area.”

The manager said after the two suspects stole more items, they pushed open the back door of the stock room, causing the fire escape alarm to trigger, and left, the report said.
The manager was able to watch the incident on security footage after he heard the alarm go off and checked the stock room back door, finding items moved around and the shopping carts outside.
According to the report, the items stolen include a 2000 Watt inverter generator, a 5000 Watt power inverter and an unknown amount of Vulken brand welding items.
