Springfield Township police say the pair stole baby formula from a Target store on Baltimore Pike at the Springfield Mall on Tuesday.

When they attempted to leave, police say Kinney was confronted by Target's security. While he was being escorted back to the office, police say he tossed the baby seat with the infant strapped in on the ground and fled the scene.

Police believe they were going to sell the baby formula on the black market.
