Deputies say they caught the couple Tuesday at the Houston Premium Outlets in Cypress. They found sunglasses from the Sunglass Hut and shoes from the Nike store hidden in the stroller, worth nearly $1,400.

Child Protective Services came to take care of the baby, who is related to the woman. The child was later handed over to another family member.

Guillermo Noriega and Yunisleidy Crespo are both charged with theft. Their bonds were each set at $100.
