Two people arrested trying to steal computers and vacuums from Costco.

A couple of suspected thieves at Costco got a big suprise when they tried to make off with the goods and it's all on camera.

A pack of Seattle police officers greeted them at the emergency exit where they were allegedly trying to make off with boxes of computers and vacuum cleaner. The merchandise is worth about $2,200.

Store workers called police when they recognized one of the suspects and told officers he had stolen items from the store previously.

The Seattle Police Department released video of the arrest on Friday.

A 30-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman along with the driver of the alleged getaway car are under arrest.

Officers say the suspects may also be responsible for another theft at a different Costco the same day.
