Grocery store thieves target unattended purses
MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) - Credit card thieves have been targeting some Mid-South grocery stores. As of Sunday, a couple of suspects are under arrest. There is still a concern that others are still out there.
It is something many women have accidentally done before. They are shopping at the grocery store with their purse in the front of the cart. Then they turn around to grab something off a shelf.
That is when these thieves are taking advantage of getting away with many people's wallets, and sometimes more.
"It's always on the shoulder," said shopper Ashley Buescher. "I'm always looking around, and I always have my purse tight on my shoulder. When I'm getting gas I have it locked in my front seat and the card in my pocket."
Just last week someone was not watch their purse, and thieves took advantage.
It happened inside a Kroger on South Mendenhall.
