#ItTakesAVillage!
New Jersey State Police hope that rallying cry helps them capture a thief caught on camera using an elderly woman’s stolen ATM card at stores in South Jersey and Delaware.
An elderly employee of the Cowtown Flea Market in Pilesgrove, New Jersey had her purse stolen from a storage cabinet inside a women’s restroom on Feb. 7, said police.
On Monday, police released surveillance images of a woman using the victim’s ATM card at a Carney’s Point, New Jersey Lukoil gas station, a New Castle Delaware Shell station and a Wilmington, Delaware Super Fresh grocery store.
Despite grainy surveillance images, police hope someone recognizes the alleged thief.
“We know the pictures aren't the best, but please like and share,” said police in a Facebook post. “We're having great success assisting our detectives by using social media!”
The suspect could live or frequent in either South Jersey or Delaware, said police.
