Talk about the wrong kind of power-up!
A duo in New Hampshire is accused of stealing thousands of dollars worth of video games and now police want the public's help identifying the thieves.
Manchester Police are trying to identify two people involved in eight separate shoplifting incidents in recent weeks at Walmart at 725 Gold Street.
The thefts happened between Feb. 15 and March 9. Walmart surveillance video showed the same man and woman snag Nintendo Switch video games off the shelves, and stash them in a large gray purse in the baby seat portion of the shopping cart, according to police.
