Distraction Theft – Police looking to identify suspects
On October 5, 2023 between 9:30 and 10 a.m., an elderly female was shopping at a business on Millennium Parkway when she was targeted by two suspects. The elderly female had placed her purse in the top part of her shopping cart.
The female suspect distracted the victim by starting up a conversation about a product while the male suspect entered the victim’s purse stealing her wallet which contained cash, personal ID, gift cards and banking cards.
Following the theft, both suspects exited the store and departed in a red / burgundy vehicle similar to a Hyundai or Toyota.
Below are photos of both suspects and the vehicle. The female suspect was reported to speak with an unknown accent.
Anyone with information regarding the identity of the suspects is requested to contact Cst. Hadley at ehadley@belllevilleps.ca.
