VERGENNES — Vergennes police are seeking help from the public in identifying four suspects captured on video who were allegedly involved in two different thefts from Kinney Drug Store that trace back to January. In both cases personal and skin care items were stolen.  
In one case Kinney employees traced back to Jan. 20 after inventory and video review, a man and a woman allegedly stole items valued at $118. The other case dates to Jan. 28, and a different man and woman allegedly took goods valued at about $165.
Their pictures are shown with this story. Anyone with information about the four suspects is asked to call Vergennes police at 877-2201.
