PORT ST. LUCIE, FL -- Port St. Lucie, Florida police are looking for two Coral Springs men who they suspect stole more than four dozen breast pumps from a local Babies "R" Us store.

Police first arrested John Grassano and Sean Loychik for shoplifting last month at a Babies "R" Us store.

A store manager recognized them as the same men who had stolen four breast pumps earlier in the month.

Grassano first told investigators he took the breast pumps for his pregnant daughter.

When asked why he need four, he explained he sells the rest on eBay.

Port St. Lucie police have reviewed surveillance video from the store and determined that the pair may have stolen as many as 51 breast pumps during 12-13 store visits.

All told, police say the stolen breast pumps are worth roughly $15,000.

Police plan to file additional charges against the men.

A spokesperson for Babies "R" Us had no comment on the alleged crime.
