In a surveillance video, Middletown police said a white male wearing black shorts and a shirt with the No. 99 on it was seen standing by the store’s front door for a few minutes. The man then picked up a basket containing two iPhones, valued at $2,000, according to the report.

The man ran out of the store and got into a Chrysler Aspen with slight front end damage, according to police. The license plate returned to a 2001 red Dodge.

The manager also showed police a photo of the suspects who robbed the Springfield store. They appear to be the same suspects, according to the police report.
