Kenneth Williams told police in an interview that the couple used a large pry bar to remove the window cooling unit and place it in the stroller, court papers state. The 50-year-old also admitted to sticking his hand in the window of the building and stealing the two remotes, police said.

Tramaine Williams said she assisted her husband with pushing the air conditioner from the building, police said.
