Authorities say an Ocean County couple exploited a computer glitch on a home improvement chain's website to get thousands of dollars' worth of items shipped to their home for free.

County prosecutors say 40-year-old Kimy Velazquez and his 24-year-old wife, Romela Velazquez, stole enough items from the Lowe’s hardware store to fill an 18-foot trailer. The items ranged from a gazebo to $2,500 worth of underwear.

Authorities declined to provide details on the computer glitch, but says that it involved the use of legitimate gift cards.

Authorities say the Brick residents tried to get about $258,068 worth of unpaid merchandise overall but received only about $13,000 in merchandise. They say the couple sold the items on Facebook for less than half the original price.

The Lowe’s fraud department eventually found out about the scam and contacted police.

Police say that the couple also allegedly stole items from Victoria’s Secret and Home Depot.

News 12 New Jersey attempted to contact the couple for comment, but they were not at their home.
