Police in the South Jersey suburb are warning shoppers after at least pickpockets snatched credit cards from at least four people, including one woman who had more than $14,000 charged to her account.
One assailant (pictured top right) stole a woman's wallet while she was eating at a Panera Bread location on Nov. 26, and then racked up more than $14,300 on her credit cards at a Nordstrom's department store and an Apple retail location, police said.
Another pickpocket (pictured top left) put more than $2,300 of Best Buy and Walmart goods on a different victim's credit cards after she stole her wallet on Nov. 5 as the victim shopped in a Wegman's grocery store, investigators said.
A man (pictured top center) stole another victim's wallet on Nov. 20 as the woman dined in a Bahama Breeze restaurant, according to authorities, who added that victim had nearly $770 charged to her credit card at a Macy's department store and a Target store.
The most recent incident, which involved two suspects (pictured bottom), happened Dec. 16 when a woman's wallet was stolen as she shopped at the Christmas Tree Shop, police said. Her cards were used to buy more than $330 in Total Wine store products, investigators said.
Authorities are working to determine if the cases are connected.
