On May 10, a man was seen on store surveillance video making off with $3,100 in Volt Max Cordless Power tools.

The theft was reported to police that same day, the Houston Chronicle reported.

On June 6, two men stole $2,289 worth of DeWalt Power tools, and four days later, two other men were caught on camera leaving the store with Milwaukee power tools valued at more than $1,600.

The cases in June were reported after store security reviewed video.
