A man suspected of repeatedly shoplifting has been banned from Home Depot.

The black male was wearing jeans, a red jacket, and a Chicago Bulls hat, while the white male was wearing a brown jacket, grey and black sweatpants, and a beanie.
Police said the video showed them walking around the store and putting several items into the cart, and then walking out with the cart without paying for anything. The cart had a Rigid box, three Milwaukee drills, and a Mikitta saw. Police said the merchandise was valued at $1,095.
