Police in Miramar are searching for a man and woman who robbed an elderly couple with disabilities through a distraction theft that was caught on camera.
The incident happened back on Nov. 18 when a woman posing as a survey worker knocked on the couple's door.
Video showed the woman speaking with the couple before police said she brought them to their backyard, telling them that the HOA was planning to build a fence around the lake in their backyard.
"She said because somebody had found an alligator and she wanted to bring them to the back of their residence to explain and show them what work was going to be done," Det. Tiffany Roy said.

While the woman distracted the couple, a man was captured in the video going into the home and stealing cash and jewelry, including a wedding ring, police said.
"While she was talking to them, explaining to them what was going to be done, she used a radio to radio the other suspect that was outside, it was okay for them to walk in," Roy said. "He exited the residence, you can hear on the video that he radios her again that it's all clear, he's out of the residence, and then they leave."
