Surveillance video obtained by Local 10 News shows the men backing a pickup truck into a nearby parking spot, then walking over and opening the cargo trailer that held two mobile teaching kitchens, each valued at $15,000.

Additional video shows the culprits helping each other unload the units from the trailer.

One man is seen dragging equipment to their truck and placing it in the back, while the other walks deeper into the trailer to remove more items.

One of the men then returned to lock the trailer before the pair drove away.

Feeding South Florida, which works to fight hunger in the region, said the stolen mobile teaching kitchens were used to educate the community on healthy cooking and nutrition.

Anyone with information is urged to contact law enforcement.
