Surveillance video shows one suspect reach into a victim’s purse and make off with her wallet.
Not only that, police say the suspects were working together targeting several different ladies in Publix before the suspects split up and left the store.“They were just walking around the store as if they were shopping themselves. Nobody saw them as a threat,” said Sgt. Stephen Mooney.
The video then shows a shopper facing the shelves. One suspect strolls by the shopper, then backs up and seamlessly snatches the victim’s wallet from her purse.“We received reports of an elderly lady who thought that maybe her wallet was stolen from Publix only because she got a notification from her credit card company that there were some charges used at Sam’s Club for approximately 5 thousand dollars,” said Sgt. Moody.“They were in-and-out of the store for 20 minutes.
“The big thing that we want to push to the public is when you’re in public places like this- a lot of ladies have their purses in their buggies and don’t think anything about it- but all it takes is just looking away for somebody to steal stuff out of your purse,” he said. Spanish Fort police are asking you to take a good luck at the suspects. If you know these women or believe you may have been a target, call Spanish Fort police.
