Evansville Police are investigating two separate credit card theft cases. Police believe two people are working together to steal purses and use credit cards taken from the stolen purses.Â
In one case, the pair targeted a 91 year old victim while she was eating at a local restaurant. One of the suspects distracts the victim while the other steals the purse. They repeated the same scenario at a local retail store and took the purse from a shopping cart. Both cases happened on the east side of Evansville.Â
One of the suspects has been captured on store surveillance cameras after the thefts. She is a black female wearing a black and white stripped dress. There is not enough info on the 2nd suspect to release anything at this time.Â
Anyone who recognizes her is asked to call EPD Detective B. Wies at 812-436-7979. Refer to case #19-13851 and #19-14635.
