Two men face charges in a shoplifting spree after they were caught pilfering goods worth a hefty $1,697 from a Home Depot store in Houston, Texas. Constable Mark Herman's Office responded to a call from the hardware giant's location on Tomball Parkway on February 23, where suspects were reported for attempting to leave the store without paying for concealed merchandise.

Arthur Phillips and Jonathan Hypolite were the duo apprehended by the deputies, and, it didn't take long for the authorities to discover that this wasn't their first rodeo. Both suspects had racked up multiple prior convictions for theft, according to Constable Mark Herman's Office. The constable's deputies swiftly located and identified the men, who now face renewed scrutiny under the gavel of justice.

Their latest alleged escapade at Home Depot could see them facing more severe consequences due to their previous run-ins with the law. "Arthur Phillips and Jonathan Hypolite were arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Theft with Prior Convictions," stated Constable Mark Herman. As for their fate, the court is yet to set their bond and decide on their court information.
