According to a Facebook post published by the department, on Nov. 29 at 11 a.m., a victim called police to report a stolen wallet. 

According to the victim, a man distracted the victim by asking about merchandise prices. While distracted, a second person opened the victim's purse and removed the wallet. 

Walmart video surveillance captured a woman using the stolen cards at a self-checkout register. She attempted to purchase gift cards totaling $969.88, but the bank denied the transaction. 

On Nov. 30 at 8:30 a.m., another victim called the police to report that he may have been pick-pocketed at Walmart on Nov. 29. The victim said a woman bumped into him while he was shopping.
