Medford Police looking for 3 people who stole woman's wallet in Wegmans
MEDFORD - Medford Police are looking for two men and a woman who allegedly worked together to steal an elderly woman's wallet.
Surveillance video released by police shows the three suspects walking into the Wegmans on January 27. They spot their victim in the produce aisle.
As one man stood watch, the other distracted the elderly shopper with a question, while the female suspect reached into the victim's purse and pulled out her wallet. She quickly concealed it while calmly walking away.
Police say the suspects then waited in the parking lot for a bit, hoping to spot another potential victim.
Police say many victims might not report the crime either out of embarrassment or simply thinking they somehow lost their wallets.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Medford Police.
