UTICA, ONEIDA CO. -- Utica Police are looking for the public's help finding suspects who they say used the guise of pushing children around a store in order to steal video games.

The men in these images released by police show them working separately and as a group to steal Xbox games and gaming accessories from a BJ's Wholesale Club store.

Police say the suspects would use the children to hide items underneath, inside the stroller.

If you know any of these suspects you are asked to call (315) 223-3552 or (315) 223-3500. Police say they will keep tips confidential.
