A Florida couple faces numerous charges after a Port St. Lucie Home Depot reported the theft of generators and pressure washers.

Officers spotted the van on St. Lucie West Boulevard and arrested Harry and Pamela Abramson, both 36, from Winter Springs.

Police said they found small baggies on Harry that tested positive for heroin fentanyl and a new legend drug on Pamela.

Harry faces charges of grand theft/coordinate with others, possession of controlled substance, failure to return leased property, possession of paraphernalia, and driving with a suspended license.

Police arrested Pamela for possession of a new legend drug, resisting officers, grand theft/coordinate with others, failure to return leased property, possession of paraphernalia, and driving with a suspended license.
