Deputies responded to a call from the front desk regarding a grand theft report in the 500 block of Foothill Boulevard on Aug. 4 between 10:47 a.m. and 12:47 p.m. As a victim was withdrawing money from an ATM on the west side of the bank, a female adult tapped her shoulder to tell the victim that there was money on the floor and ask if it was hers. She said it was not hers, and a second person said that he had witnessed the victim drop the money. The second suspect then picked up the money and handed it to the victim, who then left. Soon after, while the victim was making a purchase from a local store, she was unable to locate her debit card. She immediately drove back to the bank to see if she had forgotten it but was unable to locate it. After canceling her card, she noticed her bank statement had several transactions that were not authorized by her.
