The two suspects arrived and left together in a burnt orange Dodge Journey. 

The woman, wearing what appears to be pajamas and slippers, held the door for the male suspect as he exited the store with a cart full of merchandise valued at $131.55.  

A store employee went outside and took photos of the male suspect and the vehicle, at which time he told the employee to get back inside the store or he would beat her.
