Police made contact with the store’s security which advised that an elderly female — age 77 — had forgotten her purse in the shopping cart and had pushed her cart into the cart corral. While watching the video from security at Walmart, police observed a dark-colored BMW pull into a parking spot next to the cart corral where the purse was left. A female was observed exiting the BMW and approached the carts grabbing the cart with the purse and pushing the cart to her vehicle “which was further away from the Walmart store. The female remained at her vehicle with the property for a few seconds,” according to the report. Officers then observed the female enter the store with a juvenile and the cart although the cart no longer had the purse. Officers got the license plate number on the vehicle and found the residence. Police eventually got in contact with a 40-year-old female who stated that “she had completely forgotten about the purse in the trunk of her vehicle that she found.” She advised she was going to look through it and try to find the owner. Police advised her she should have contacted the police but she advised she did not know the number nor where they were located. The suspect also “made no efforts” to notify the deputy that stopped by when he was at her address to relay a message on behalf of the officer. The suspect was ordered to return the purse. According to the report, the suspect had no criminal history and was given benefit of the doubt that she was being truthful. The suspect returned the purse to the police where the purse was checked by the victim. She advised everything was in her purse including $132 that she had in her wallet. No charges were pursued.
