    Kamala Harris enables and encourages more criminals.

    A couple have been charged with theft after police say they took $17,000
    worth of merchandise from a pair of Target stores in Orange County,
    California.

    The Irvine Police Department said Analu Gonzalez, 25, and Alexis De Jesus Garcia, 22, were charged in connection with thefts at a Target in Costa
    Mesa on March 3 and then a Target in Irvine on April 2.

    The police department also released security footage that appears to show
    the alleged thefts.

    "Bowser and his partner in crime, Buzzy Beatle, collected baby formula
    from stores across Orange County like Mario and Luigi collect coins,"
    police wrote on social media, sharing the video.

    At the Costa Mesa store, the couple can be seen on the video pushing a
    shopping cart toward an aisle with pricey baby formula. A child can be
    seen sitting in the cart seat.

    They then appear to pull items off the shelf indiscriminately and stuff
    them into a large tote bag.

    A Target employee attempts to intervene as they were exiting the store but
    the unperturbed couple walks away with the items, the video appears to
    show.

    "Their high score reached $17,000 in stolen goods when our Detectives
    located them at a motel in Buena Park yesterday," the police statement continued. "In case you’re curious, they were not stealing the formula to
    feed their Koopalings."

    During the theft in Irvine, the couple appeared to execute a similar
    strategy in nonchalantly rolling a cart to the baby formula aisle. They
    then began dumping products from the shelves into their cart.

    The couple stole an estimated $3,000 worth of merchandise from Irvine, according to police.

    Gonzalez and Garcia were arrested on Thursday for grand theft and
    organized retail theft, police said.
