Chandler Police seeking wallet thief

According to the Chandler Police Department, on March 17th a woman (later caught on camera) allegedly stole a wallet from another woman’s purse. Authorities believe that it most likely happened when the victim was shopping at Albertson’s located at 4060 W. Ray Road.

The suspect then used the victim’s debit card at the Walgreen’s located at 4949 W. Chandler Boulevard later the same day, first attempting to purchase two $500 gift cards. When asked for photo identification and when asked for her identification the suspect said she didn’t have any so the purchase of the gift cards was denied. The suspect did purchase a pack of cigarettes and a box of Kleenex with the stolen debit card.

The suspect is described as a Black female in her 40’s to early 50’s, medium to heavy set wearing a short sleeved shirt and wearing gold bracelets on her right wrist. She was wearing dark colored sunglasses and her hair was cut short with the back of her hair cut close to her head.
