Puyallup police are searching for two men suspected of stealing 21 pairs of brand-name sunglasses from a store last month.

The suspects walked into the Sports Authority at 4423 S. Meridian St. about 3 p.m. Jan. 25. They went to a display of brand-name sunglasses and selected 21 pairs of  Under Armour, Ray Ban, Bolle and Hobie shades, police said.

The men cut the security tags from the glasses and hid them in their pockets. The men walked out without paying for the $2,100 worth of merchandise, police reported.

Tacoma-Pierce County Crime Stoppers released information about the suspects and a surveillance picture today in an effort to identify them.

The second man appeared to be white and 35 to 40 years old. He had a medium build and wore a white long-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, white shoes and a dark-colored baseball hat.

Crime Stoppers is offering up to $1,000 for information that leads to arrests and charges filed in the case. Tipsters may remain anonymous.
