Officers responded to a petty theft report in the 900 block of Foothill Boulevard on Aug. 24 at 6 p.m. While the victim was shopping in a store near the bath section, a male wearing a white shirt and blue jeans bumped into her multiple times while she was shopping. The victim believed that this person acted as a distraction while an accomplice stole her wallet from her purse, which was in her shopping cart. She did not see a person take her wallet and did not realize it was missing until she was ready to pay for her items. The suspects then attempted to use her credit card and the transaction was declined. The victim’s wallet contained her driver’s license, money and credit cards. She said a similar incident occurred to another customer who was shopping right next to her.
