On Feb 8, 2019, an elderly female was shopping in a store on Woodlawn Road West. She later realized her wallet had been stolen and her bank account had been emptied.
Investigation determined that two males and two females were involved. (It is alleged that) a female created a distraction at the checkout allowing a male to move into a position where he could observe the pin pad as she was paying. They then followed the lady back to her car and engaged in conversation with her, pointing to her vehicle saying she has a flat tire. This allowed another member of the group to take her wallet out of the vehicle.
Do you recognize the individuals in these photos? Police would like to speak with them in regard to this theft. Anyone with information is asked to contact Cst. Adams at 519-824-1212 ext. 7419 or [email protected]. Anonymous tips can be left at Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submitted online.
