At some point the pair decided not to, and as they were leaving the store with the television, the responding officer arrested them. The suspects, a 20-year-old male from Prospect Park, New Jersey and a 21-year-old male from Sloatsburg, New York were charged with petit larceny and fourth-degree criminal mischief.
