TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Deputies are searching for two people who broke into a house and stole property worth $30,000.

Deputy Tom Peine with the Pima County Sheriff's Department tells KGUN9 that on October 17, a homeowner in the 3500 block of North Green Gulch told deputies that his house had been broken into.

Deputies found that the burglars forced entry through a window in the back of the home and stole a 75-piece watch collection, along with jewelry and an American Express credit card.

The value of the stolen property is about $30,000.

The same day of the burglary, the suspects went on a shopping spree using the stolen credit card and spent $900 at a variety of stores.

One of the items purchased was diapers.

Anyone with information on the identity of these people is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME.
