A pair of pick pockets racked up $1,600 in charges on a credit card stolen from the purse of a busy mom as she sat inside a Bucks County Chick-fil-A with her children, police said.
The man and woman duo stole the mother's wallet just before 3 p.m. Wednesday at the fast food restaurant located along Horizon Boulevard in Bensalem Township, according to police.
Police said the woman acted as a lookout while the man positioned his chair in a way where he could reach into the mother's purse, which was hanging off the back of her chair.
After grabbing the wallet, both left the store and walked across the street to Target. They spent $1,600 on the victim's credit card buying snacks and four $400 Visa gift cards, police said.
The pair tried to make three purchases at a Target in Philadelphia later in the day, but the credit card had been shut down by then.
Surveillance video captured the theft and purchases. The pair were spotted driving a silver sedan. The make and model were not known.
