SALISBURY - Two people wheeled off hundreds of dollars worth of groceries from the Food Lion on Faith Road on Monday, and they didn't pay for a single item.

Police say the couple filled two carts with more than $700 worth of various items, then went through the check out.  The woman had the first cart, and when it was totaled, she pushed it out to the car while the man waited for the cashier to total up that cart.  The man then tried to pay for the groceries, but the card he used was denied.

According to the report, the man told the cashier that he had a "good" card in the car and and he was going to go get it and come right back.  He never returned.

Police say they think the whole thing was planned from the start.  The man is described as being a young white man with dark hair, wearing a red tee shirt and khaki shorts.  The woman was older, possibly in her 30's.  She had blond hair with a pink streak in the back.
