Upon reviewing surveillance footage, it was found that a newer-model black Chevrolet Suburban was parked in front of the Giant store and two Hispanic females got out of the passenger side of the vehicle.
They entered the store and targeted the elderly victim. As one distracted her, the other removed her wallet from her purse. The two females then left the store, got into the passenger side of the Suburban and fled the scene. One of the credit cards in her wallet was then used at the Sam’s Club in Philadelphia Mills.
