A man and woman are behind bars after they were accused of a string of retail thefts in Hialeah, including one that was caught on camera.
Video provided by Only in Dade appears to show Mayelin Nuñez, 49, and George del Santo, 48, climb into a car outside a Home Depot in Hialeah last month after witnesses accused them of stealing drills from the store.
The video showed the man, who was wearing a bright construction vest, and the woman loading the tools into a back of a vehicle as witnesses watched.

The woman appears to move toward a witness who was filming before the vehicle then flees the scene with the rear door open.
Hialeah Police told NBC6 the suspects repeatedly teamed up to target several stores in the city, stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
"They went to a Lowe's, they stole from a Home Depot and they also stole from a Verizon Wireless where they took multiple tools, multiple merchandise, all at a very, very, high cost," said Hialeah Police Officer Scarlett Hernandez.
