KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP released multiple photos of suspects who may be connected to a pair of fraud and theft reports over the summer.
On Friday (Aug. 15), RCMP were told of an elderly woman at a grocery store who had her debit card stolen while she was intentionally distracted. Police say the thieves then withdrew money from her bank account.
“Based on the investigation it is believed that the victim was followed to the checkout and one of the suspects spied while the PIN was being entered,” said Cpl. Dana Napier, Kamloops RCMP detachment spokesperson, in a news release issued Tuesday (Aug. 19). “The victim then left the store and was approached by two men who distracted her by asking for directions while the third suspect pickpockets the debit card.”
Previously, on July 9, RCMP say they were told of another instance of fraud involving a PIN after a victim’s wallet was stolen after they left a grocery store.
