Police drone video captured a gray Honda Pilot leaving the Northwest Fresno store near Shaw and Valentine avenues last Wednesday.
Employees reported seeing a man conceal merchandise in his clothing, while a woman accompanied him.
The drone tracked the vehicle until officers on the ground caught up and conducted a traffic stop near Brawley and Weber avenues.
The suspects were identified as a 39-year-old man and a 43-year-old woman.
Investigators later linked the pair to another theft at a Dick's Sporting Goods store in Northeast Fresno earlier the same day.
Both suspects face charges of grand theft.
