FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Two men are in custody for stealing more than $6,000 worth of merchandise from a northwest Fresno Lululemon that has been notoriously hit by thieves.

Fresno police say 23-year-old Gavin Degroot and 29-year-old Hector Garcia were arrested Thursday morning after a short police chase.

Authorities say Degroot entered the Fig Garden store around 11:30 this morning and began stuffing clothing into a bag, and running into a getaway vehicle driven by Garcia.

Officers were able to locate their car and stopped them in a nearby neighborhood.

Investigators say that while their car was searched, a resident called police saying a bag of Lululemon clothing was thrown on their lawn.

Degroot and Garcia are now facing grand theft charges.
