Police are searching for two suspects that shoplifted from the Bengals Pro Shop Sunday afternoon - leaving behind their toddler and grandfather.

Larry Cole said he was sitting in a red Ford Explorer in the pro shop parking lot with his granddaughter when his son and a woman ran off after allegedly stealing from the shop. Police are withholding the name of the suspects.

"We were just coming in here to shop," said Larry Cole. "My son's not a thief, or at least I didn't think he was."

Cole wasn't sure what they took or where they were going.

Workers in the pro shop said that the suspects were the only two patrons in the store when the theft occurred. They were not sure what was taken.

Police are working with stadium security to obtain the security tapes at the time of the theft. The two suspects remain at large.

Police at the scene allowed Cole to leave, but took the child to 241-KIDS on Sunday evening.

The Enquirer will update this story.
