The couple, with their two children, 8 years old and 4 months, attempted to walk out of the store without paying, according to the police report.

Redmond Police Department's spokeswoman Becky Range said that officers often deal with shoplifters who are trying to support a drug habit or reselling clothes for profit. In this case, the officer addressed the situation and quietly walked to the cashier to pay for the items. Before he left, he directed the couple to local family resources.
The officer declined to be identified.
