Deputies responded to the supermarket on the 19300 block of Soledad Canyon Road around 8:22 p.m., after witnesses reported two women appeared to be riding the carts around the parking lot under the influence.

Deputies caught up with the suspects in the nearby Food 4 Less parking lot.
The suspects reportedly saw the deputies and then left the carts, but they were found with Monster energy drinks, Prego Italian sauce, Funions, Mountain Dew, Ben and Jerry’s Half-Baked Ice Cream, a Clearblue pregnancy test and a Red Bull, according to the Sheriff’s Department report.
The suspects are due in court Friday.
