The total value of the food was estimated at about $150, according to the station.

Detectives said they found red bell peppers on the beach a few hours later.

“They seemed to be laughing and having a very good time while they were committing a felony,” Trish Routte of Crime Stoppers told WXTX. “Caught on video, we’re pretty sure that someone is going to be able to identify them, and they’re looking at having a whole new series of photos taken, this time with their clothes on in a jailhouse outfit.”
