EP Police seek alleged purse snatchers
The East Providence Police Department is searching for two women who allegedly stole another customer’s purse at Saver’s Thrift Store, 1925 Pawtucket Ave., East Providence.
The elderly female victim was shopping at the Saver’s when a black female suspect volunteered to help her with a pair of pants. The suspect reportedly distracted the victim while a second black woman stole the victim’s purse, which contained cash and credit cards.
After the theft, the victim’s credit cards were fraudulently used at the Stop & Shop and Best Buy stores in Seekonk, Mass. The suspects also attempted to use the victm’s credit card at an Exxon station in Wyoming, RI, but the card was declined.
Police believe the suspects may be from Connecticut or New York because the last attempted charge on the victim’s stolen credit card occurred near the Rhode Island state line.
