WATCH: Lobster Thieves Caught on Camera
Police say they hid the hijacked tails in the bottom of a baby's stroller.
Two women with a hankering for lobster tails will be in hot water when Pinellas County Sheriff’s deputies catch up with them.
The agency says the women and three children paid a visit to Wards Seafood Market & Gallery, 1001 Belleair Road, in Clearwater Wednesday around 1:45 p.m. They are accused of swiping a few lobster tails during their visit.
Deputies released a store surveillance video that shows them reaching into a cooler, grabbing several tails and putting them into the bottom of a baby’s stroller. The women and children then left the store and drove away in maroon, four-door sedan that is described as being a newer model.
