PALM COAST, Fla. - A Palm Coast duo is accused of walking into a Winn Dixie store and stealing hundreds of dollars worth of groceries on Wednesday, deputies said.
Around 6 p.m., a woman got out of a black sedan parked at the Winn Dixie located at 111 Flagler Plaza Drive and walked into the store. She walked through the store, placing items in her shopping cart before walking out without paying for any of her groceries, deputies said.
A short time later, a man walked into the store and collected groceries in the same manner as the woman but abandoned his cart near the checkout lane. He then spoke with an employee about a missing EBT card before leaving the store to look for his card.
Deputies said the man walked back to the sedan and spoke with the woman before the duo reentered the store and the woman took the cart full of groceries back to the car without paying.
