    (PHOENIX) — Two shoplifting suspects running from police scaled a fence to get away from officers and landed in a secure parking lot of a police station — and in custody.

    Officials tell KTAR-TV that officers were called to a gas station for possible shoplifting at 6 p.m. Friday. Authorities say as officers arrived, the suspects, 28-year-old Marwan Al Ebadi and 29-year-old Salma Hourieh, took off running.

    The pair ran along the side of a building and jumped a fence, despite a sign for “Peoria Police” above the door.

    Security video shows Hourieh trying to hide under a bench before being placed in custody. Al Ebadi climbed back over the fence and was arrested on the street.

    Al Ebadi and Hourieh face charges of shoplifting, trespassing in a critical public safety building and drug charges.

    It wasn’t immediately known if either is represented by a lawyer.
