LOGAN, Utah – Police are looking for two women they say stole thousands of dollars’ worth of baby formula from Utah stores.

KSL-TV reports (http://bit.ly/22pZWts ) that surveillance cameras at Lee’s Marketplace in Logan captured the thieves in the act a few weeks ago. Logan Police Capt. Curtis Hooley says the pair also visited three other stores, hiding $3,700 of formula in their clothing.
