The Irvine Police Department is reminding the public that wallet thefts can happen in the blink of an eye.
Police are searching for a pair of thieves who were caught on video nabbing an unsuspecting shopper's wallet at a Ralphs store on Harvard Avenue and Main Street. Surveillance footage released Wednesday showed a woman step away from her shopping cart, and within seconds, a man next to her opens her purse and takes her wallet.
The man then hides the wallet in one of the shelves and calmly leaves the aisle, video showed. A little while later, the man's partner digs through the shelf and picks up the stolen wallet. "Thieves can steal your valuables quicker than you can grab a blue box of macaroni and cheese. Never turn your back to your purse," Irvine police wrote on social media alongside video of the theft.Related Topics
