Last week, the NYPD revealed that they were looking for a female suspect accused of stealing a wallet from a subway passenger and then taking $2,000 from her Chase account. Now, the NYPD says the same suspect is wanted for stealing a wallet from a woman shopping in the East Village.
On January 31, 2013, at around 6:40 p.m., the latest victim realized her wallet was gone while shopping at the Key Food on Avenue A. Then it turned out there were ATM withdrawals from her Bank of America account.
In the earlier incident on November 17, 2012, a woman at the Borough Hall subway station in Brooklyn realized her wallet was missing. Two days later, $2,000 was withdrawn—via teller window (see below)—from her Chase account by the suspect at the 8th Avenue and 15th Street Chase branch.
The suspect is described as a white female around 25-30 years ago, about 5'3" and 110-125 pounds, with dark-colored hair. And she's wearing rather hipster-looking glasses. Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call Crime stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
